Ringback tone specialist enlists industry vets Lee Fenton and Lourens de Beer. The pair will be joined by Muzicall co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Mark Collins and telecoms consultant Jeff Owen.

The board will guide the company as it builds upon its progress in the European ringback tone market.

Lourens is currently Managing Director of Net Mobile UK, a company that provides mobile services and solutions to brands such as Channel 4, Global Radio and Bauer Radio.

Fenton, meanwhile, is the Chief Operating Officer at Gamesys Group, which owns www.jackpotjoy.com - a cross-platform online instant win and bingo entertainment brand.

Patrick Allainguillaume, CEO of Muzicall said: “We are on the cusp of significant exponential growth and that is why we established the advisory board.

Ringback tones are already hugely popular in the US and Asia, where in some territories penetration is as high as 50 per cent.

"In Europe the systemic issues that have prevented similar growth are close to being resolved and we want to position our company to take maximum advantage of the demand that will be unlocked. As we manage the strategic growth of the company, the experience and advice that Lourens and Lee can provide will be invaluable. We are delighted that they are on board.”
