“As our new Chancellor Phillip Hammond prepares to deliver his first Autumn Statement, he must be mindful of recent events and the importance of the UK’s temporary workforce as a catalyst for economic growth,” according to a post by Danbro, a provider of umbrella services to independent contractors.

“UK plc has been under an immense amount of pressure in recent years and that looks set to continue in light of events ranging from the Brexit vote to Donald Trump being elected as the 45th President of the United States,” according to the post. “Despite these global pressures, the UK has proved to be resilient and we consistently recover from dips in the economy faster than most of our partner nations. This is because we have been able to utilise our powerful temporary workforce.”

The chancellor was scheduled to deliver the Autumn statement today.
