The IPSE Freelancer Awards celebrate the achievements of the UK’s brightest and best freelancers, as well as organisations who do the most to support the self-employed.
IPSE were delighted to receive an incredible 100 entries this year and the virtual judging panel have now selected the all-important winners. Winners will be revealed at an awards ceremony on Wednesday 23 November at the Barbican Centre in London, hosted by quizzer and broadcaster, Paul Sinha!
