Widely reported as having more Freelancers per capita, Brighton and Hove Freelancers have rallied together to put on an event on National Freelancers Day.
Join us for Drinks and Networking – National Freelancers Day, 23rd November – 7:30pm at The Eagle pub (Brighton)
November 23rd, a date for your diary. Why? Because it is a day of recognition for the contribution that freelancers and contractors make to UK economy, a day to be proud of who you are and what you do. To help mark the day the PCG have launched a dedicated National Freelancers Day website.
As freelancers we know you have absolute passion and pride in your skill set. We know it takes a lot of confidence to break out on your own. We also know that it takes more than just talent to succeed in this tough and competitive economic climate.
