It's the Day to support independent practice

Independent practices are judged by the public on the performance of all independents and practices need to support one another to raise the standing of the sector as a whole.

Speaking ahead of the launch of Independents Day 2015, founder and independent practitioner David Goad said he wanted to reach out to those independents who didn’t normally go to events or mix with their independent compatriots. He said, apart from the innovative speaker line-up, Independents Day was designed to bring like-minded practitioners together to share ideas and experiences and learn from one another by understanding alternative business philosophies.

‘Independents Day is about getting to the biggest number of people and getting them together so they can talk to like-minded people. There’s no obligation to buy into anything,’ said Goad. ‘It’s a meeting place to hear from other independents and hear ideas for things you could do in your own practice.’ Most people face similar issues wherever they are and this brings them into contact with other people’s solutions, he added.
