LONDON, November 29, 2010 - Freelancer.com, the world's largest outsourcing marketplace with over 1.9
million professionals from around the globe, today relaunched
Freelancer.co.uk as the United Kingdom's largest outsourcing marketplace.

Freelancer.co.uk connects small businesses with freelancers across the
world, enabling them to get small jobs done at a fraction of the price of
hiring locally. Almost any job you can think of can be outsourced today,
across a wide range of industries including software, web design, marketing
and engineering. Projects start as low as 20 pounds (for example designing a
logo), and average under 125 pounds (for example designing a website), making
it extremely cost effective for small businesses to get anything done.

In February 2010, Freelancer.com acquired the freelance jobs marketplace
Freelancer.co.uk, which at the time was one of the largest domestic freelance
marketplaces in the UK.

Since that time, Freelancer.com has merged the site's 30,000
professionals with its own UK userbase and migrated to the global Freelancer
platform, bringing the total to over 70,000 registered professionals across
the United Kingdom, with access to over 1.9 million freelance professionals
from around the world. This makes Freelancer.co.uk at launch already the
United Kingdom's largest outsourcing marketplace.

"We're really excited to be launching Freelancer.co.uk today," said Matt
Barrie
, Chief Executive of Freelancer.com. "The UK is our second biggest
poster of jobs already in our global marketplace. There are over 2 million
small businesses across the United Kingdom who desperately need to get things
done cost effectively to grow their businesses, and we're pleased to be able
to now provide a dedicated site for accessing the world's largest on-demand
workforce."

The new site will have a dedicated team, marketing and support dedicated
to growing the UK market, as well as accepting projects in pounds sterling
and a number of other local features that will be progressively rolling out.
