Telecoms and information technology solutions provider‚ FoneWorx‚ on Tuesday announced that the Kirsh family is now its largest shareholder‚ holding 32.8% of the company‚ after the successful purchase of the shares owned by the Issie and William Kirsh Family Trusts.

"We are very pleased that our shareholders supported this strategic transaction. As alluded to in prior announcements‚ this was always intended to be the first phase in a broader strategic initiative with the Kirsh Family‚ and we are now in a strong position to make this a reality‚" said Mark Smith‚ chief executive of FoneWorx.

"We are very happy with the progress made‚ and I am also extremely pleased that the new company that I have started‚ and in which my father has partnered me‚ Value+ Network (Value+)‚ can now move towards merging with FoneWorx.
