Sooqini is a online marketplace that can be used to buy and sell anything locally - it has a similar setup to Gumtree and eBay but with the addition of location technology.
If you need local staff for tasks like setting up exhibition stands or running errands, just post the job you need done on the website or free app, along with the skills needed and how much you’re willing to pay.
You can then choose the best offer from ‘sellers’ nearby, depending on whether you’re after the highest quality or the lowest price.
You can rate the service you received, creating a feedback system that helps other organisers work out who to work with in future.
Each request has an average transaction value of £25 and as many as 20 people offer to undertake the task. One popular option is to ask someone to do a day of errands for £60.
