Qdos Partners with The Slice Network to Help Fractional Marketing Leaders Build Stronger, More Sustainable Businesses

The Slice Network, the UK's leading community for fractional marketing and communications leaders, has announced a new partnership with Qdos, one of the UK's leading specialist providers of business insurance, tax and compliance services.

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting the continued growth and professionalisation of the UK's fractional economy.

As more organisations turn to fractional talent to access senior expertise on a flexible basis, independent marketing leaders are increasingly operating as business owners in their own right. Alongside the opportunities this creates comes a responsibility to ensure both the operator and their clients are properly protected.

Whilst many fractional marketers understand the importance of professional protection, insurance and compliance, these considerations are often only addressed when requested by a client during procurement or onboarding. The Slice Network believes these measures should instead be viewed as a core part of a robust business proposition from day one.
 

 

Jeremy Laight, Founder of The Slice Network, said:

"At The Slice, we're committed to helping members build stronger, more sustainable portfolios and businesses. That means more than winning clients. It means building a proposition that inspires confidence, protects both parties and supports long-term success.

Too often, protection is only considered when a client asks for it. We believe the strongest fractional operators position this as a benefit from the outset, demonstrating professionalism, credibility and commitment to delivering great outcomes.

We're delighted to be partnering with Qdos, an organisation that shares our belief in supporting and strengthening the evolving fractional ecosystem in the UK."

Through the partnership, Slice members will gain access to guidance, resources and specialist expertise designed to help them better understand the practical aspects of operating a fractional business, from professional protection and risk management through to compliance considerations.

 

 

Seb Maley, CEO at Qdos, added:

“We’re really excited about this partnership, which provides this thriving community of professionals with access to our range of award-winning insurances and expertise at even more accessible prices. This vital and growing sector of the flexible labour market is becoming more and more important – not just to the businesses it supports, but the wider economy. So, ensuring independent workers have the peace of mind, protection and expertise they need to build successful businesses is a mission we’re fully committed to – and a common goal that we share with The Slice Network.”

The partnership officially launches today, with Qdos joining members at The Slice Network's upcoming face-to-face event in London on 2 July, followed by a dedicated webinar later in July exploring the role of protection, compliance and risk management within a successful fractional career.
