Danbro, the award-winning specialist accountancy firm for contract and freelance workers, has organised a special event to celebrate National Freelancers Day on Monday, 23 November.
The company will host a gathering at Penny Blacks, a modern ale house located in the prestigious Mailbox development in central Birmingham.
The event will be a lighthearted, fun affair, aimed at lifting the spirits of freelancers and preparing them for a brighter future ahead after a tough couple of years. It will also provide an excellent opportunity for attendees to network and build up their professional contacts.
National Freelancers Day was devised by industry body the Professional Contractors Group to highlight the importance of freelance workers to the economy, and a number of events will be taking place on the day across the country. A special 'webcast' will see a group of experts discussing how the concept of freelancing is likely to develop over the next ten years - this will be shown at the Mailbox during the evening.
Danbro marketing consultant Gerry Gregoire said: "We've been involved in a number of events already this year, some of which have featured fairly serious discussions of the issues facing freelancers, but the idea behind this gathering is to provide a bit of light relief, allowing freelancers to share their experiences, ask questions and meet with other people who have an interest in the contracting and temping sector.
"We hope as many people as possible will come along, have a drink on us, and take the opportunity to celebrate National Freelancers Day in the company of other like-minded people."
Danbro provide a range of specialist accounting solutions to contractors across the UK, and are affiliated to both the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) and the Professional Contractors Group, as well as being accredited with both the quality management standard ISO 9001:2008 and the Investors in People Award.
The event will start at 5.30pm and free refreshments will be provided. Anyone who is interested in attending can contact Gerry Gregoire by email; gerryg@danbro.co.uk or call 01253 600140. For more information about National Freelancers Day visit www.nationalfreelancersday.org.uk.
