Concerto Networks goes nationwide

Concerto Networks UK Ltd has appointed David Gregory as Managing Director. David is currently Managing Director of Concerto Networks Bournemouth Ltd, and has built a highly successful Concerto Networks branded business locally over the past 15 months, supporting small and medium-sized businesses by taking care of their technology and maximising its effectiveness.

David Gregory will use his skills to develop the Concerto Networks brand and coverage to build a nationwide business offering consistent quality service, and to support the development of the franchise network. Concerto Networks is an international franchise business providing professional, consistent-quality computer and business technology solutions to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), effectively providing an outsourced IT department.

Graham Williams, previously Managing Director, will take on the role of Chairman and will operate in an advisory capacity and says “David has a wealth of operational and management experience which places him in an excellent position to take the business forward. The fact that he has his own franchise means he also has first-hand experience of running the Concerto Networks business model”. He added “I believe this change will better serve and take advantage of the massive IT Services market opportunity for Concerto Networks in the UK by providing increased focus and time commitment to build and support the franchise network, manage partners and build the Concerto Networks brand presence in the UK.”

The existing Bournemouth-based business will be unaffected by the change, and David Gregory says “Now that we have successfully tested the Concerto Networks model in the UK we are ready to roll it out nationally and I look forward to meeting that challenge. The Concerto brand has been hugely successful in the US and the plan is now to expand across the UK so that consistent level service can be offered across the territory – longer term the intention is for nationwide coverage within the UK, and ultimately global coverage.” Concerto Networks already has a presence in Ireland, Spain, New Zealand and Australia as well as the USA and UK.

Cure for poor mobiles coverage?

Standing in the corner of the room; being exiled to the bottom of the garden; or teetering precariously on a chair.

People will go to extraordinary lengths to find that elusive one bar of signal that will allow them to make a mobile phone call.

But soon the days of despair that occur when you arrive back at the office or home only to find your new handset does not get any coverage in your house may be over. There is a new technology on the block, known as femtocells, and if the hype is to be believed, it will end signal problems forever.
