NFD History - Freelancers Speak Out

1,597 freelancers across the UK added to the debate on National Freelancers Day and took part in a research study carried out by ComRes and commissioned by PCG on what freelancing means for them.

The freelancers surveyed believe that it is their specialist knowledge (97%) and years of experience (98%) along with enthusiasm (93%) and objectivity (94%) that is of real and valuable benefit to clients and these aspects will be key to assisting the UK in returning to growth. This enthusiasm is perhaps not surprising when considering that one third of all freelancers have no plans to retire because they love what they do and 67% confirm that “going freelance” has given them a better work/life balance.
