In the UK, which months are typically the quietest in terms of freelance web design work?

I understand it's probably going to be around Christmas time, but are there any other times of the year where it's typically quiet on the B2B freelance work front?

If it's anything like the US, just before Christmas through February is super slow. December can be kind of busy as people scramble to use up their quarterly and annual budgets, but then once time gets close to Christmas, things grind to a halt and then stay that way through new years, and then it gradually picks up as Spring starts to approach.

Thanks.

I guess January wouldn't be the best time for me to start freelancing then…
