Wellingtone is the UK's leading specialist project management recruitment company and sponsors the APM Salary & Market Trends Survey 2017; by far the largest of its kind in the UK.

How much should you be earning?
Which roles earn most and what could you earn as a contractor?
What qualifications are employers looking for and what does Vince recommend?
These questions and many more were answered in this entertaining and informative presentation.
