David Gerrish

I empower IT Professionals to avoid the Life Sentence of Employment to become freelance IT Contractors enjoying more Money, Freedom, Time and Confidence, so they can become true Masters of their own Destiny.

I provide online webinars & training courses, perform CV & LinkedIn reviews, help with interviews, offer 1-2-1 coaching and I have an online subscription platform hosting all video content and useful downloads, with exclusive members-only content. I have also created an online course perfect for those wanting to learn more about contracting before they make the leap.

I run 2 thriving social media communities on Facebook and LinkedIn offering free support, tips, opportunities & advice on all areas of contracting, as well as mindset, productivity, finances & more.

In the LinkedIn group I provide a free role tagging service to help anyone looking for a contract by benefitting from my network of more than 11,000 connections, so they can apply for roles before they hit the job websites, allowing them to stay 1 step ahead of the competition and maximise their chances of securing that next perfect contract.

I also believe contracting can be amazing springboard into business for those with an entrepreneurial spirit who maybe want to create an ongoing business doing something they're passionate about or would like to create a side hustle.

David Gerrish of The IT Contracting Academy has been a freelance IT contractor since 1996 and has worked across the UK & Europe, Asia and Australia. Whilst Dave's experience is specifically in IT contracting, this group can help ANYONE wishing to switch from permanent employment to a life of freelance contracting.
