David Cameron backs the entrepreneurial revival
Jenrick IT (specialist IT recruiter) is reporting a surge in demand for IT Contractors in January 2010.
“With redundancies and a feeling of uncertainty in 2009, a number of IT professionals have grabbed the ‘entrepreneurial bull by the horns’ and decided to set up their own consultancy, re-igniting the entrepreneurial spirit. This has been matched by an upturn in demand for IT freelance experts and our clients get technical projects back on track and need IT Contractors to plug the knowledge gaps” – Philip Fanthom (Managing Director – Jenrick IT)
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Conservative party leader David Cameron was in bullish form.
While he recognises that this has “not been an easy year for many families across the country”, Mr Cameron sees Britain well positioned to grow aggressively in the years ahead.
After the 1979 “winter of discontent”, Britain was revived by “a national spirit of entrepreneurialism, unleashed by a Conservative Government that was unashamedly pro-enterprise”, says Cameron. This can happen again, he insists.
How? The Tory leader points to the industries in which the UK is a world leader - design, creative, architecture - and says that these can be the engine of future growth. The world’s first environmental stockmarket, based here in the UK, can boost investment in tomorrow’s green businesses. And he promises, should the Conservatives win the next election, a government that is “determinedly pro- growth, with a range of bold policies to turbo-boost the ideas and ambitions of our nation’s entrepreneurs”.
