Brightpool Supports National Freelancers Day, 23rd November 2009

National Freelancers Day has been established by PCG to gain wider recognition for the contribution that freelancers, consultants, interims and contractors make to the UK economy:

• Highlighting this flexible, agile and expert community to UK businesses, showing how to engage and work with freelancers effectively.
• Celebrating freelancing as a valid career choice, highlighting the community and support network.
• Emphasising that to unlock the full potential of freelancing, government must recognise that freelancers are in business and entitled to clear and fair taxation laws.

On National Freelancers Day, PCG is launching a Manifesto for Freelancers at a reception in Westminster and a number of evening networking events are taking place across the UK.   The centre piece of the day is a webcast of the future of work in which a select group of experts will look ahead to 2020, examining how the concept of freelancing is likely to develop within the changing business world.
