Boris praises freelancers

14.11.13

Boris Johnson has sent a message to the freelancers of Britain ahead of National Freelancers Day on 21st November 2013.

Mr Johnson, the Mayor of London, described the decision that people make to become self-employed as 'brave, ambitious, fulfilling and rewarding'.

Boris Johnson's full message:

Hello,

I wanted to send my very best wishes to freelancers everywhere on National Freelancers Day. Your contribution to the lifeblood of our economy is immense. Taking the plunge on being a freelancer is an immense decision that can in many cases appear daunting. But it is also a choice that's brave, and ambitious, fulfilling and rewarding. There are now 1.7 million freelancers in Britain, many of you propelling growth in the city I am proud to serve as Mayor. London salutes you, and so do I. You are our bright and vital talent. Whether you freelance, you are an entrepreneur or you run a small business three things you won't be short of are ability, aptitude and agility. Those triple A's are the theme of this year's National Freelancers Day. They are also exactly what any budding freelancer needs to succeed! Good luck, I look forward to your continued success in the years ahead.

Boris Johnson, Mayor of London

At the last official count, there were 1.7million freelancers in Britain, and National Freelancers Day (which is one week today) celebrates the contribution of every self-employed individual across the country.
