Shout it from the rooftops, today is National Freelancers Day!
Today has been set aside to gain wider recognition for the contribution that freelancers, consultants and contractors make to the UK economy. PCG (the voice of freelancing) has declared today National Freelancers Day.
Freelance contractors and consultants provide flexible solutions and are working hard with their clients to assist economic recovery. National Freelancers Day aims to:
- Highlights this flexible, agile and expert community to UK businesses, showing how to engage and work with freelancers effectively
- Celebrate freelancing as a valid career choice, highlighting the community and support network
- Emphasise that to unlock the full potential of freelancing, Government must recognise that freelancers are in business and entitled to clear and fair taxation laws
