So that everyone knows exactly what I am doing with the survey here is my current plan for what I'm going to do.
1) I'm setting up a simple website. Yes it may look like I'm trying to replace IPSE - I'm not.
I need a website to host the work in progress documents and if I'm doing that I may as well have a page or 2 to ensure we get some general information out to as many contractors as possible. I would like to thank the agencies and accountants who have already agreed to promote the site and will happily accept any others.
And hopefully come November I can kill it...
2) I'm going to create 2 work in progress responses but don't expect them to be more than bullet points but I want them online so people can agree/ disagree and write parts of them.
3) I'll do some detailed analysis on the survey results. Quick highlights at the moment (I'm not closing it until Friday)
38% live in London or the South East (I'm surprised how low that is)..
over 25% of contractors have weekly or longer commutes.
While its an exception and definitely not the rule some people are spending 30%+ of their turnover on travel expenses..
General consensus is that if independent contractors were not able to do the task consultancies will get the work instead resulting in end clients having to pay far more...
