("Nexus Management" or "the Company")
Update on Nerd Force UK and Resilience Technology Corporation
Nexus Management is pleased to announce a partnership with Les Dyson, of First
for Franchising, to launch Nerd Force in the UK. Les Dyson has over 20 years'
experience launching new franchises in and with his help the Company is
confident of Nerd Force's successful entry into the UK market.
Les Dyson, an MBA and Marketing Graduate, started his career with Mars before
progressing on to senior management roles with other leading brands within the
FMCG industry. Mr. Dyson has since held a number of senior directorship roles -
including at Electrocomponents plc and Ronson plc. After founding his own
companies - Gerby Limited and Capital Investment Limited -, he became a
consultant on investments and acted as a venture capitalist for acquisitions and
mergers worldwide, with a particular interest in franchise business models.
Les Dyson commented "I am delighted to be working with Nerd Force, which
operates within, what many commentators forecast will be, one of the most
dynamic franchise sectors in future years. Their product and service offering is
compelling and I firmly believe that we will establish a considerable presence
throughout the UK during the next year, having already created a credible
foundation stone during the balance of 2009."
"I am confident Nerd Force UK will shortly gain a strong foothold in the UK
market."
Update on Resilience Technology Corporation
Since its acquisition in March 2009, Resilience Technology Corporation ("RTC" or
"Resilience"), now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nexus Management, has made
substantial progress. The head office of RTC has been moved from California to
Baltimore, where it is easier to interface with the US Government and the local
contractor community. The initial take-up of the new migration program CSO "X"
has been very promising, enabling customers to smoothly migrate to the
Resilience Firewall platform with immediate expense savings and long-term
capital cost reductions. This new program, which was launched in direct response
to analyst demand for management innovations on the firewall market, moves
clients off competing systems faced with end of life risks. Its popularity has
allowed Resilience to sign several new strategic resellers in the USA and
Europe. CSO "X" offers clients an estimated 50% to 75% cost reduction over the
life of the contract.
Due to the sensitive nature of network security, Resilience does not name its
customers or resellers.
Resilience CEO, Sean Scott, commented: "Users are looking for cost effective
"plug and play" appliances that work. Our technology's advantages allow
Resilience to offer higher value support because our systems simply cost less to
maintain."
Roger Richardson, Nexus Management CEO, commented: "Much has been achieved in a
few short months by the Resilience team with some results of their actions
highlighted above. I am pleased to be able to confirm sales of the Resilience
products continue in line with the Board's expectations and will play an
important role in the Company's performance this fiscal year."
