Businesses that work with freelancers might find
it worthwhile to invest in some commercial coffee
machines.
According to a poll by accountancy firm Crunch, freelancers
consider a cup of coffee an absolute essential that they cannot get
by without.
Indeed, the survey showed that only their computer, internet
access, networking events and task management tools are considered
more important parts of their day-to-day lives.
As a result, purchasing a coffee machine that provides instant
coffee, espresso, cappuccino and other varieties could be a good
way to ensure freelancers remain productive each day.
Coffee was even rated ahead of smartphones in terms of their
importance, which came as a surprise to Crunch's managing director
Darren Fell.
"It seems that despite a push towards more mobile working,
today's freelancers are still tied to their desks," he
commented.
This comes after Christopher Gardner of Selfridges
suggested that the UK is becoming "a land run on coffee".
