Leading freelance site acquired by Australian company

One of the world's largest freelance project outsourcing websites, GetAFreelancer.com (GAF), is now Australian owned, after a recent buyout by promising Sydney based communications academics saw the acquisition of GAF's Swedish parent company.

Previously owned by Plendo Sweden AB and Innovate it, GAF will now fall under the management of Australian company, Ignition Networks, under the direction of Michael Ruhfus and Pearcey Award winning CEO, Matt Barrie, who describes Ignition Networks as "a technology company in stealth mode".

Since the acquisition, GAF users have experienced delays in payment processing of up to two weeks for withdrawals of any income made through projects advertised on the GAF website.
