Philip Ross was one of the founding members of the
Professional Contractors Group and played a leading role in the fight against
IR35. He was elected as their first external affairs director. He left the
Group to stand for Parliament later returning in an executive capacity running
their external affairs function. He led the PCG’s successful campaign against
Fast Track Visas.
After leaving the PCG he went to run the Parliamentary
office of Tony McWalter MP. He decided to return to IT contracting only to
discover that he had forgotten much of his technical knowledge. In the meantime
he took a part job on the tills at John
Lewis. He made it back into IT as a permanent employee in Dunstable and then
returned to work in London in 2006.
On the political front he became Mayor of Letchworth Garden
City from 2007-9. He continues to write political articles on freelancing and small
business for Progress and for shout99.
He has also become an international speaker on the topic of Garden
Cities.
He now works for a consultancy in London called Alpheus in
which he is a shareholder.
Though no longer a contractor he is still committed to the
cause.
