Concerto Networks announces FURTHER international expansion

Concerto Networks, a business technology franchise company, announced international expansion with the award of its second and third international master franchise licenses. Antonio Tutusaus, the new Concerto Networks master franchise owner for Spain, will officially launch his business in October 2005 to provide complete office technology solutions for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) throughout Spain. Graham Williams, the new Concerto Networks master franchise owner, will officially launch his business in December 2005 to provide complete office technology solutions for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) throughout the United Kingdom with an initial focus in London.

“I am very excited to be the owner of Concerto Networks’ first international franchise in the UK. I am enthusiastic about the growth the company has experienced in the United States and their international expansion into New Zealand and Spain earlier this year. I feel it’s an extraordinary opportunity to be bringing such a strong brand and valuable service offering to the UK,” said Williams. “I look forward to helping grow the brand nationwide and beyond. And with all the support I’ve received from Concerto Networks, I’m ready to get started right away.”

The launches in Spain and London are part of Concerto Networks’ aggressive plans for international growth in 2005 and into 2006. The company has identified target markets in Australia, Canada, South America and Europe as priorities for franchise development in the coming year. Any countries already equipped with strong infrastructures to support advanced cellular communications are potential markets for establishing Concerto Networks franchises.

“By providing consistent, high-quality business technology solutions to SMBs, Concerto Networks’ franchise system is addressing a need that exists all around the globe, creating a wide-open opportunity for international growth” said Raymond Hivoral, Founder and CEO of Concerto Networks. “I am pleased to award Antonio with the Spain master franchise and Graham with the UK master franchise. Their wealth of experience in both technology and small business ownership makes them the ideal candidates to help grow the Concerto Networks brand at the international level.”

Including the master franchises, there are currently 41 Concerto Networks franchise licenses awarded in 17 U.S. states and internationally in the UK, Spain and New Zealand. Master franchise, area development and single and multi-unit franchise licenses are available for purchase.
