Freelance. It's Britains Brain Gain

A recent CBI study highlights that UK Freelancing has increased by 14% over the past decade and there are now an estimated 1.4m freelancers in the UK. Freelancers and "micro-businesses" play an increasingly important role in the economy by increasing labour market flexibility. Project Managers are often in demand as freelancers and interim's given the interim nature of the project life-cycle.

Titanium Consulting are a member of the Professional Contractors Group which is an independent association that represents, supports and promotes the freelance community in the UK. PCG membership has grown steadily to encompass over 19,000 freelancers, contractors and consultants at the beginning of 2010.

The PCG is currently running a campaign to highlight the benefits of Freelancing and Interim Management. The micro-site - Freelancing - Britains Brain Gain - can be found here:
