Chris Bryce is the new chairman of the Professional Contractors Group (PCG), the not for profit membership body that supports the freelance community.

Bryce, who has worked as a director at PCG for the past two years, replaces David Ramsden.

On his election, Bryce said: “I am passionate about everything that PCG stands for and I want to continue to help the growing freelance community to flourish by actively campaigning for what we want as well as against what we don’t want for our members.  PCG still has some way to go in becoming a truly representative body that can automatically sit down with government for talks but it is not afraid to show its teeth in public when necessary.”
