One of the obstacles for small consultancies is that more and more
public sector bodies are insisting that their suppliers have ISO9001
certification. PCG ISO 9001 is a UKAS-accredited ISO9001 certification scheme designed and developed specifically to
meet the needs and working practices of the independent contracting and
consulting sector. Not only is PCG ISO 9001 the first cross sector scheme of its kind,
but it is being delivered at a fraction of the cost of any credible
alternative. It also allows freelance businesses to operate in a more
professional manner by highlighting businesses of the highest
integrity. More on PCG's ISO9001 scheme >> There are 1.4 million freelancers in the UK and the flexibility added
by this community is contributing some £21 Billion to UK GDP - the
value of this resource has never been more significant. Freelancers work across all sectors, from HR to IT, graphic design to
engineering, at every corporate level – from the boardroom down.
Freelancers bring flexibility, help you to manage risk and to unlock
innovation and talent within your business. Freelancers can plug in
rapidly to your business to bolster expertise and improve speed to
market. While your competitor is thinking about it, you could have a
team of freelancers delivering it! Find out why freelancing is Britain’s brain gain: http://www.pcg.org.uk/britainsbraingain/ Read our PCG membership flyer PCG's aim is to be the voice of freelancing; to be the ultimate authority on all issues that affect freelancers.
