Happy National Freelancers Day!

Today, Monday 23 November, is National Freelancers Day, as declared by PCG - an independent not-for-profit professional association, whose mission is to represent, support and promote the freelance community, with specific attention to the needs of those freelancers who are members of PCG.

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

The underlying idea is to gain wider recognition that the workforce of freelancers, contractors and consultants make to the UK economy.
