PCG calls upon freelance spirits to support national campaign
15 October 2009: PCG, the representative body for freelancers, contractors and consultants in the UK, has launched its ‘Spirit of freelancing’ campaign to capture thoughts and ideas from freelancers in the run up to Monday 23rd November, National Freelancers Day.
PCG is urging its members and other freelancers to get involved and send PCG their views on what freelancing is all about, what it means to them and how they would define it. Freelancers are being encouraged to send an anecdote, a short story, a one-liner, a few words or a single word, a photograph or drawing – humorous or serious - to capture the spirit of freelancing to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

John Brazier, managing director of PCG said: “As National Freelancers Day approaches, we are asking freelancers and client organisations to let us know what freelancing means to them and we would like as many people to get involved to mark the Day and capture the spirit of freelancing.”

--NOTES TO EDITORS--
The Professional Contractors Group (PCG), www.pcg.org.uk, was formed in May 1999 to provide independent contractors and consultants with a representative voice in opposition to the original IR35 proposals. Since then, PCG has evolved from being a single-issue campaign group to being a fully fledged, not-for-profit professional body representing knowledge workers who choose to be self-employed.
PCG has just over 18,500 members working in a wide variety of sectors including oil and gas, engineering, information technology, management consultancy, marketing, telecommunications and pharmaceuticals.
PCG has declared Monday 23rd November 2009 National Freelancers Day, www.nationalfreelancersday.org.uk, in a drive to encourage everyone to acknowledge all freelancers, consultants and contractors and the contribution they make to the UK economy.
