Various freelancer roles required

Hey Matt,

You may know about this already but www.freelancers.net is a good place to shout out for this kind of thing - listings are free. You might want to specify location as many replies can come from overseas...

Cheers,

Hmmm. Maybe we need a section on E-consultancy for this kind of thing. I know what you mean about quality of candidates... will put the word out to see who knows where you can access the top end of the market (assuming there is such a facility).

Hi alex, do you require someone to work with you in your office, is this the reason you are concerned about the distance they are away from you? if not i can send you a copule of CV's which you may be interested in.

Hi Matt, I've sent through my CV and a link to my site in the hopes it may be of use. I'll also talk to a couple of freelancers I know that may suit your requirements.

Best of luck
