Pocket Mastermind

The Victorian way of working; Monday to Friday 9 to 5 (if you're lucky) is antiquated and it's time for an overhaul. With more people than ever now working at home because of COVID-19, could this be the opportunity to change the way we work to meet the digital age? Danny thinks so, and his mission with Portevo is to build a platform that facilitates a connection between businesses seeking experise to solve problems and deliver statements of works with individuals with the expertise required and who are looking for a more flexible approach to working. 

Could this be the platform that democratises the workplace and opens up the talent pool to businesses located outside of the traditional business hubs and helps to reduce rush hour congestion and econimic migration? With the way in which we work currently changed through enforcement, we certainly see more businesses reviewing how and where their employees will be located. Find out more at Portevo.work.
