Welcome to Ardent Tide

Much More than a Contractor Payment Company.

We contract with Construction businesses principally to reduce their common risks of engaging labour only subcontractors.
We enable any Construction business to engage self-employed workers in a straightforward, cost-effective and hassle-free way. As we said it’s simple; there is no complicated software for you to deal with as we tailor our services to your requirements.

The result is an advanced payment system that benefits you and the workers. We are very proud of the fact that we are the first Company of our type that includes insurance for the operative as standard without any additional charge. We would welcome the opportunity to present our business and our core values to you should the opportunity arise.

Our Vision
We are contracting with Contractors in a tough industry in difficult times. We intend to offer the best value service for what we do for both Contractors and Workers alike. Our core values are built on fairness and integrity but like all businesses we always look to innovate. We intend to be leaders in what we do and to bring information, knowledge and new products to our clients where appropriate. We are definitely not just a payment Company.

Lighthouse Club
We are proud of our strong association with the Lighthouse Club and what it does for Construction workers and/or their families who fall on difficult times. This may be due to an unforeseen accident or just circumstances. The Lighthouse Club is limited to giving financial help but it is an invaluable ‘friend’ when there is a crisis. Dermot is on the committee of the London Branch of The Lighthouse Club and we are proud sponsors of the Lighthouse Club. (http://www.lighthouseclub.org)


Health & Safety
We are delighted to raise awareness in all matters relating to Health & Safety and Jennifer Deeney (http://www.jenniferdeeney.co.uk) represents all that is necessary to understand what every partner of a Construction Workers fears: that their partner does not come home due to an accident. It Will Never Happen To Me is a training video, inspired by the death of Jennifer's husband, Kieron, which is a powerful reminder that it can and does happen all too frequently. The Lighthouse Club steps in for those cases it is aware of but many others are unaware and go without this helpful financial support. This is why we passionately believe in insuring the operatives as part of what we do and why we have a strong association with the Lighthouse Club. Let’s make Construction a respectable Industry that looks after its own. We all have a part to play.

At Ardent Tide we ensure that our clients are not simply outsourcing administration. Although this is helpful, the real benefit is that we take on all the legal and tax liabilities of engaging the workers.

When it comes to dealing with self-employed workers in the Construction Industry it is important that you have a timely, risk free and compliant method of contracting. Our services give clients certainty and peace of mind and, of course, our high tech payment systems do all the other things our clients expect as standard.

We believe in providing our client with certainty;
Certainty on Status
Certainty on (Legal & Tax) Compliance
Certainty on Paying Operatives on Time, always.
