We recently had the opportunity to meet with (virtually, of course!!) the lovely Julia Kermode, Founder of Independent Work Ltd – IWORK

IWork brings together all the ways people work independently in the UK – from temporary agency workers to freelancers, contractors, self-employed or gig economy workers. Pre-pandemic, some 23% of the UK’s workforce were working independently, not in permanent employment. IWORK champion this way of working!

You may have heard the terms IR35 and Umbrella floating around recently. Kindly, expert Julia Kermode gave us insight into what IR35 means for the flexible workforce and explains the fog around umbrella companies.

In the first video, the lovely Julia Kermode gives us insight into what IR35 really means for the flexible workforce.

Moving swiftly on, what is an umbrella? There is a fog surrounding terms such as these across the workforce presently. In this second video, Julia explains what an Umbrella Company is and what it means for the flexible workforce.

Wrapping up our expert session with Julia Kermode, we asked what changes are on the horizon, and what potentially the future of flexible workforce looks like.

 

We just want to say a huge Thank You to Julia and all her team at IWORK for her valued insight and shared knowledge.
