Caroline Norbury, CEO of Creative England, stressed that the freelance champion should tackle challenges beyond the creative sector, such as pensions, mortgages, and financial products for self-employed workers.

She argued that traditional financial incentives often fail freelancers and highlighted the need for tailored solutions to support this growing workforce.
