2022 Keynote panel
Making the case for freelancers
12:15 – 12:50
Freelancers play a vital role in the modern economy. They provide an essential, flexible resource to their clients, picking up new skills along the way which they go on to share with new clients. They are the bees which pollinate the flowers. They take on risk so the businesses they work with don’t have to. They sacrifice their own security to help others. Everyone agrees, freelancers are brilliant, right?
Read more
Well, actually … no. For some, freelancers are tax dodgers. For others they are people who cannot get a ‘proper job’. To the unions, well some unions, freelancers are a hidden, exploited workforce that need to be saved (and presumably turned into card carrying employees).
If freelancing is to reach its full potential and be truly valued by policy makers, as it should be, we need to understand where the cynics are coming from and develop coherent arguments for why our freelancers should be cherished. Join our panel at NFD to help us craft the argument.
Chair: Andy Chamberlain
Director of Policy, IPSE
Speaker: Julia Kermode

Speaker: Albert Azis-Clauson

Andy Chamberlain
Director of Policy, IPSE
Andy is responsible for IPSE’s policy work and has a special interest in labour market changes, employment status, IR35, Making Tax Digital and fair commercial terms for the self-employed.
At the onset of the coronavirus pandemic Andy has campaigned for financial support for the self-employed. IPSE was instrumental in setting up the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme (SEISS) and then went on to lobby for the inclusion of all self-employed in that scheme. In March 2021 the scheme was extended to include a further 600,000 individuals that were previously ineligible.
Julia Kermode
IWORK
Julia is a podcaster, network builder and campaigner with a passion for the rights of independent workers. She’s particularly interested in the gig economy and temporary workers – an unseen army of unsung heroes that featured in Julia’s recent TEDx talk. Prior to IWORK, Julia spent years ensconced in the world of tax legislation and employment status where she lobbied against the disastrous off-payroll rules. Julia is increasingly frustrated that those most affected by these regulations are those with the least control in their own status, i.e. you!
Albert Azis-Clauson
CEO, Underpinned
A former Business Strategy & PR Consultant, Albert is now the CEO and Co-founder of UnderPinned, a platform dedicated to helping freelancers build their careers in the UK, and the Association of the Future of Work.

Robin Waite
Founder of Fearless Business
Stop underselling yourself – how to confidently charge more
9:15 – 9:50
How to Create Pricing Strategies for Your Business and Earn More Money with Fewer Clients.
99% business owners adjust their prices once or twice a year or even more rarely than that, and the one thing which stops them from increasing their prices… fear!
Read more
Fear of losing clients or repelling customers that you’ve yet to closed. The reality is that in 99% of the time price is never the real objection. Where many business owners struggle is in having the ability to articulate their value to a potential customer with confidence. Imagine if you had a superpower where the customer already knew how amazing you were, what results you got for your customers and whatever price you gave them they simply said, “Yes!” to without hesitation.
During the talk we’ll be covering:
- Why it’s important not to discount
- How too much demand for a product/service can negatively impact a business
- How increasing your prices stops the ‘Sales Cycle of Doom’
- Why charging what everyone else charges is a bad idea!
- The sad facts of Facebook and its impact on Pricing
- Brief insight into the Money Mindset and Internal Value Systems
Ultimately someone’s got to be the most expensive – so why isn’t it you?
