Jo Shaw's avatar

I manage the Sponsorship Licence for my company and it's a very stressful part of my work, knowing the high stakes if we get it wrong. Training with BFI is always informative, sometimes scary but ultimately reassuring and I highly recommend their sessions to fellow licence holders. Jo, Cornwall

A standout sponsorship experience at BFI’s IR35 Conference

Partnering with BFI as a Gold Sponsor at the 8th Annual IR35 conference was an outstanding experience. The event was expertly organised, providing invaluable brand exposure, high-quality networking, and a platform for meaningful discussions. Our panel session was highly effective, generating strong engagement and quality leads. The BFI team’s professionalism and attention to detail ensured a seamless experience, and we look forward to exploring future sponsorship opportunities with them.
