Partnerships and Affiliations |
| |
| The following are organisations and associations that Skillfair has arrangements with. We are always interested in working with organisations who provide services and
support to consultants and welcome any suggestions as to who we should contact. |
| PCG |
| |
THE PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS GROUP (PCG) is a not-for-profit trade association that represents the interests of consultants, contractors and freelancers. It has evolved to become their champion, campaigning on issues that matter to the freelancing community, irrespective of industry focus.
PCG's aim is to work for proper recognition of independent consultants, contractors and freelancers as a genuine and valuable sector of the economy, generating wealth and employment, providing industry with a flexible workforce.
In seeking to promote its members commercially and support their development, PCG actively develops tools, services and relationships that will assist them. One such example is the introduction of PCG ISO9001 scheme which helps consultants and contractors achieve UKAS-accredited IS09001:2000 certification easily and cheaply.
Skillfair is an affiliate member of PCG and is part of PCG's introducer programme, this allows us to offer our members a 15% discount on their first year of PCG membership. PCG members are similarly entitled to a 15% discount off their first year of Skillfair membership.
PCG also provides a very cost-effective ISO 9001 scheme, accredited by UKAS and Skillfair members are entitled to a 10% discount on the first years accreditation fee.

| Tiyga |
| |
|  |
|
Tiyga stands for 'Time is your greatest asset' - something that's only too true for consultants and other knowledge professionals.
Not only is it important for us to track our time so that we can bill customers accurately, but we need to make sure we set aside time for professional development,
marketing, administration and time off. The Tiyga suite of products is designed to help you keep track of your time easily and painlessly so that you can manage your
greatest asset more effectively.
Skillfair has worked with Tiyga to develop a special free trial version that will give you a taste of the Tiyga product and
let you keep an eye on the latest Skillfair projects at the same time.
The free trial will end on 21st February so why not download your copy now or pass this link on
to any colleagues who may be interested.
Tiyga provide a range of compatible products that operate on the desktop, mobile phones and the web, to try any of these other products for free go to the Tiyga website.
We were particularly impressed with the combination of the desktop product with the online service, which provides an easy way for groups of consultants to share information about
the time they spend on collaborative projects. Full Skillfair members can benefit from a free 3 month trial of the online service when they buy Tiyga Style - which is only £45 ex VAT.
If you're already a Skillfair member just login and click on Member Benefits to take advantage of this offer and many others. Otherwise, why not register as a Guest and try the Skillfair service out.
