Our
Chief Executive
Officer
Jonathan Beckerlegge
Chairman and CEO of Centralus.
Chairman of Sovereign Global Partnership LLP, which is an international corporate accountancy firm that specialises in forensic accounting and tax planning.
Lay member Director and Chair of the Audit & Integrated Governance Committee of the East Riding of Yorkshire CCG.
Appointed Governor Humber NHS Foundation Trust.
The world of employment has changed according to global industry needs.
Centralus responded by adapting the already successful US business model, the Professional Employer Organisation, and introducing it to the UK as Co-Employment.
Starting in 2014, Jonathan Beckerlegge monitored the legislation changes for 18 months, through governmental white papers and the implementation process, to ensure that the specific
business model would tackle all aspects of changes in employment legislation that were anticipated in April 2016.
For the last nine years, Jonathan has been working together with Victor Leginsky of Emirates Global in the UAE on financing three major biofuel projects for the Egyptian, Libyan and Syrian Governments respectively.
Victor was pleased to be involved with Centralus in raising the necessary funds for the investment to put together an unrivalled team with industry experience and start operating in this market.
In January 2016, Jonathan was delighted to announce that his long-term associate, Mahmoud Zuaiter was joining the group as Group Finance Director. Mahmoud Zuaiter is an international corporate finance executive.
Jonathan recruited Mahmoud for this project because of his core finance and tax skills. Mahmoud has been successful in driving various listed businesses in a range of jurisdiction, but had expressed a great interest in this project because it related to transitional practices in UK tax law, an area in which he holds particular expertise.
The team, having obtained the necessary funding for the new Centralus project from their connections in the United Arab Emirates, set about creating the new operation for nearly a year prior to its launch in 2016. Centralus has established a range of clients from the principals’ own connections and from that, we have set up a full infrastructure with a growing team of 95 people, including professional consultants, technical advisors and long-term contractors.
The organisation was initially set up as a limited liability partnership. Now, the establishment of Centralus Corporation Limited provides all of our stakeholders the security and financial covenant that comes with a multimillion- pound capitalisation. We aim to take the organisation to an initial public offering (IPO) within the next few years, thus Centralus PLC was formed as the dormant holding company.
Our team has a long and exemplary track record of achievements and experience in the industry.
We want to empower our clients to meet employee demands. We offer them consultancy support with their employment responsibilities, and they keep their workforce motivated and focused.
Our clients accomplish this by delegating part of the responsibilities of employment to us.
Centralus deals with all enquiries from HM Revenue & Customs relating to the employees and is entirely responsible for payments of all Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions relating to the payroll of the employees.
Our clients, the current employers, will be responsible for the day-to-day direction, control, and supervision of the employees. They maintain workplace insurance as required by their business sector legislation. The client will be entirely responsible for all Health and Safety and employment issues arising in the workplace.
The client’s employees become co-employees when the administration function of their responsibilities is undertaken by Centralus. There is no change to the terms and conditions of employment contracts. The transfer is only administrative in nature; it neither affects their employment rights, nor their accrued and existing rights. Co-employment does not affect the employees’ years of service records.
Other Co-Employment Functions
Besides payroll consultancy, we offer workplace pension administration with real-time access to an online portfolio, a world-class employee perks package, and employment law advice.

Centralus is an International Associate Member of National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO).
Formed in 1984, NAPEO promotes a Code of Ethics and best practices to its member companies. It represents about 85 per cent of the industry’s estimated $136-$152 billion in gross revenues and has 300 PEO members, ranging from start-ups to large publicly held companies with years of success in the industry, as well as some 200 service provider members. NAPEO International Associate Membership includes both service providers and companies who operate as PEOs outside the confines of the United States.
NAPEO defines co-employment as the contractual allocation and sharing of employer responsibilities between a PEO and its client. In a co-employment agreement, workers are technically employed by two separate entities: the business owner, or client employer, who controls their daily duties and core job functions; and the PEO, or co-employer, who handles personnel-related functions.
