GTC business skills workshop
GTC members interested in improving their understanding of the issues around running their own business as a freelance cameramen enjoyed a very informative series of presentations from industry experts at ARRI GB, Uxbridge today.
The line-up of speakers comprised:
- Survival Skills for Freelances by Christina Fox

- Keeping the Books Straight with Selwyn Foreman, Bradley Foreman Accountants
- The Risk Business from Andrew Leen, Performance Insurance
- How to Make the Most of Your Footage: Selling online and protecting your copyright from BeamUps, the Global News Marketplace
All the speakers impressed by managing to make potentially dry subjects very entertaining and each session was packed with useful information. If you couldn't make it to Uxbridge today, there will be another chance to learn how to improve efficiency in your business, not to mention keep on the right side of the law and the taxman, at Birmingham on 8 December 2009.
