- Kevin Spencer, Internal Communications Consultant: Maybe the best thing I've signed up to since going freelance.
- Heather Baker, Founder, The AI Edit: I joined IPSE for the community but got so much more.
- Faye Dicker, Voiceover Artist and Founder of Freelance Mum: Joining IPSE is one of the single most important things a freelancer can do.
- Adrian Ashton, Enterprise Consultant: A large part of the reason I became a member is to show solidarity.
- Debbie Gordon, Founder, Create and Up Studio: I joined IPSE to expand my network and be part of a community.
Maybe the best thing I've signed up to since going freelance. The tools and resources are invaluable, and the team are eager to support and listen to feedback.
I joined IPSE for the community but got so much more. If you're building something on your own, this is the organisation to be part of.
Joining IPSE is one of the single most important things a freelancer can do. They have information at their fingertips, lobby on your behalf and keep you constantly connected. It gives you such a strong sense of being part of a wider community and that your voice matters.
As a freelancer myself, a large part of the reason I became a member is to show solidarity, that as freelancers we stand together. We have to, it's the only way we're going to be heard.
I joined IPSE as was looking to expand my network, be part of a community and have access to resources that can help me grow my business. So far, it's ticking all the boxes and I'm really looking forward to attending some of the upcoming events.
