A LEADING creative tech platform which has proven a hit with London freelancers is to launch in Bolton.

YunoJuno, one of the UK's largest freelance platforms, has unveiled plans to expand into the town, and add Bolton's pool of talent into its network of over 18,000 designers, developers, copywriters, and project managers.

The move will provide access to the latest creative roles in the region, and enable freelancers to schedule client activity and display their portfolios to global brands such as Google, BBC and Sky.

It also offers a guaranteed payment service for freelancers within 14 days of submitting an invoice helping professionals avoid chasing payments.

While for clients YunoJuno can help manage networks of freelance relationships and contacts in one place.

Shib Mathew, CEO and founder of YunoJuno, said: “Since we launched in London in 2012 we have established a strong reputation as the city’s leading freelancer platform and we are looking forward to growing our presence in the North."

To mark the launch YunoJuno is also planning to host a series of freelance-focussed networking events, yet to be announced.

The platform's registration process is now open, however all freelancers are individually vetted before being accepted and potential members are advised to apply before the launch.
