Gareth Jones and the TownSq team have launched their latest What If whitepaper, focussing on an often under-appreciated group that play a massive role in the UK economy: freelancers and the self-employed.

Within the report they share some fascinating data, like how 1.86M freelancers in the UK, 15% of freelancers are working mums, the average age is 49 years, and collectively freelancers contribute approximately £140B to the UK economy EVERY YEAR.
