Julia is a contingent workforce expert on a mission to safeguard workers, empower them and ensure they are treated fairly.  She has spent the last decade deeply ensconced within the world of contingent work, tax legislation, employment rights, worker rights, umbrellas and the wider recruitment sector.  It's niche, and she loves this space! 

Through her website IWORK.co.uk Julia actively champions contingent working, and lobbies the government for fair legislation on issues such as tax avoidance, disguised remuneration, loan charge, employment status, and the gig economy.

Prior to IWORK, Julia spent 7 years as CEO of FCSA, a trade body for accountants and umbrella companies.  Here she led unprecedented growth, successfully transforming the organisation from obscurity to being the ubiquitous go-to compliance requirement for the supply of temporary workers.  Julia also spearheaded FCSA’s influence within the government, and raised standards within the often-misunderstood umbrella sector. 

Julia is well-respected in the contracting industry, passionate and good at what she does.  She is also a contractor herself, providing consultancy services to advise and support businesses in how they engage contingent workers.
