("Wizcom") (Prime Standard: WZM, IL 0010830706), today announces it has appointed Mr. Uzi Sharon as the Company's Country Manager for the UK. Mr. Sharon has 20 years of experience in selling to the education and public sector markets in the UK.  Prior to joining Wizcom, he was Sales Executive with RM Eductation, an international supplier of technology and services to schools, colleges and universities.  An important part of his sales experience comes from his successful activities in the field of special needs.  Uzi holds a master's degree of the internationally respected Technion University in Haifa, Israel. Shimon Amouyal, CEO for Wizcom, stated, "The appointment of Uzi in the important UK market is in direct line with our strategy to expand our sales team in the regions.  Direct sales in the B2B market and public sector, is one of the pillars of our commercial strategy." "Moreover, Wizcom's products have been validated as successful assistive tools that can help foreign students, of which there are around 500,000 in the UK, as well as people with reading difficulties to enhance their learning, reading fluency and text comprehension.  This is a very substantial market, considering that the number of children under 11 with special education needs numbers some two million, with 20% of the general population having some level of learning disability. This potential in the educational market and public sector has not been fully tapped yet, and with Uzi we have been able to attract someone who has very valuable experience and an extensive network in these areas, which should help us to boost revenues."
