I’ve worked with Franco across multiple ventures over the last several years and he has proven on each and every occasion to be an essential part of any project. Time and time again he has been the key difference between success and failure. His network of connections is second to none and Franco has a unique flair of being able to make the impossible happen. I look forward to many more great achievements together.

I've worked with Franco and his team from 2007-2012 when Kinetic Worldwide managed all of HSBC's OOH requirements. Franco negotiated and acquired strategic space for all of our marketing and brand campaigns, notably the use of jet bridges in our international airport (NAIA), which made us one of the first brands to leverage on that media space. Franco and his team became an integral part in implementing our OOH strategy. I totally enjoyed working with Franco and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

      FOXHOLE BUSINESS CENTER is a PLUG and PLAY SERVICED OFFICE SPACE which also offers business administration services catering to SME’s and START UPS in the Philippines. Having an entrepreneurial spirit, we are able to deliver quality service that business owners demand. Our group is composed of entrepreneurs who personally know the tedious nature of the administrative side of putting up a business. It is not enough now to just have a great idea and a business plan to put it into fruition. Now you need the street smarts to deal with bureaucracy, the patience to handle paperwork, and the prudence to know who you can rely on. We believe that these matters should definitely not be a hindrance to do business in Asia’s rising tiger, and each willing entrepreneur should be able to take advantage of the Filipino worker’s hard working nature and perseverance. visit www.foxholeph.com for details.
