The move will undoubtedly enable us to offer greater support to our international clients and will give us confidence in being able to provide expertise to our clients anywhere in the world.  As we embark on this new chapter, we look forward to sharing our professional experience and knowledge of the Tuscan market and industries with the other members of the network, and we have high hopes for future growth and development."
