Independent consulting offers freedom and flexibility, but for many, it also brings one major challenge: inconsistent income. One month, you’re fully booked, and the next, you’re wondering where your next client will come from. Malt Strategy recently hosted a series of insightful webinars with Melisa Liberman, a business coach for independent consultants, and here we'll share our key takeaways from Melisa on how to shift from income unpredictability to steady, recurring revenue.
In 2025, freelancing remains a key pillar of the UK economy, driving innovation, filling skill gaps and offering businesses agility in uncertain times. While more professionals are exploring self-employment, the number of freelancers has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels, suggesting that economic concerns and policy changes may still be holding some back.
AI is transforming industries at an unprecedented pace, creating exciting opportunities for freelancers. To explore this shift, Malt and Le Wagon co-hosted an exclusive event bringing together freelancers, students, and tech leaders. The evening featured expert insights on AI-driven projects, upskilling, and the evolving freelance landscape - plus plenty of networking and knowledge-sharing.
