Our sponsor
A relationship that has been built over a number of years, we are proud to announce Kingsbridge as a 2023 sponsor for this year’s Freelancer Awards. Specialising in contractor insurance, their new brand statement - “Right by you”, finds a perfectly fitting parallel with YunoJuno’s vision for The Freelancer Awards.
YunoJuno's Sweet FAs have become the largest annual initiative of their kind, bringing together hundreds of British freelancers through an entirely community-driven nominations and judging process that celebrates the outstanding achievements of this community.
It's going to be a night to remember!
