our UK office," said Mike Wehrs, CEO and President of Scanbuy. "Dave's
knowledge of the mobile industry and many years of experience in the
technology industry will be indispensible to the company as we look to
aggressively expand in the UK. We see scans in over 30 countries worldwide

can become a permanent part of every marketing plan. We are working to
capitalize on the momentum the industry has gained in the past few months and
