SPN - UK Press Release

SPN Launches UK Directories - SPN is pleased to announce that from the end of March / early April 2009 the UK directories for Liverpool, London and Manchester will be active.

SPN the number one specialised search engine and directories for parents in Spain, will be actively approaching a minimum of 1000 relevant industry related companies for each of there online directories, to join them in there goal of "making life easier" for parents in the UK.With the launch of SPN Liverpool, Manchester and London within the next three weeks and with Birmingham, Glasgow and Leeds due to be online mid September, parents will soon be able to find everything that they require for their children with just one or two clicks of the mouse from our carefully selected categories.

SPN is the specialised search engine and online directories for parents that is "making life easier" by doing all of the hard work for you. No more searching through hundreds of irrelevant web pages to find what they want for their children. They can simply click on the category and choose any of the listed companies that are included. From an idea that first came about in 2003, when trying to find an ET doll for a friends baby daughter and after two years of planning and researching the various methods of "search" in other European countries, SPN set about designing and building a website that was simplistic in its looks and even easier to navigate. SPN Solo para niños was founded in April 2005, launched online in Sept 2005 and is registered as a private company in Barcelona, Spain.

The company is owned by two of the three Molloy brothers Raymond and Christopher and is fully privately owned. The companys business is internet publicity and advertising. The company now includes online sales and distribution (if required) for all of clients and companies related to the growing children’s sector of the market, via the SPN shopping catalogue which complements their parent friendly search engine and growing city directories. Their search engine enables the included businesses in the directory to advertise to parents who are actively searching for the products or services that they have, either on their own exclusive page or by linking users directly to the companys website.

Instead of having to search through hundreds of irrelevant web pages to find what they are looking for, parents will now be able to find almost anything and everything that require for their children in Spain and the UK. Unlike other search engines or online directories that automatically include hundreds, if not thousands of irrelevant free listings, at SPN they take their time to personally check each individual request and only include those that are relevant to their categories. SPN's goal for the coming years is to make SPN a household brand name and to become the only specialised search engine that parents will need to use.

The company currently has 25 city directories online in Spain: (Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao, Zaragoza, Sevilla, A Coruña, Alicante, Girona, Granada, Las Palmas, Málaga, Murcia, Tarragona, Palma de Mallorca, San Sebastián, Santander, Tenerife, Valencia, Valladolid, Vitoria and Cádiz) with 3 UK cities (Liverpool, Manchester and London) launching at the end of March early April 2009 and a further 3 cities (Birmingham, Glasgow and Leeds) towards the end of the year. SPN Sweden, Italy, Denmark, France and Germany will follow within the next two years.

The SPN categories included in the search engine and directories are: Baby Clothes Shops, Childrens Fashion Shops, Baby Products, Baby Accessories (Prams, Cots, etc), Catering, Parties, Clinics, Dentists, Hotels, Travel Agencies, Hospitals, Pharmacies, Infant Schools, Junior, Schools, Nurseries, Leisure Activities, Language Schools, Music Schools, Theatre Schools, Dance Schools, Plag Groups, Childrens Parks, Online Shopping, Private Education Schools, Sports Shops, Fitness, Toy Shops, Hoppy Shops, Specialist Shops and a category for Useful Websites.
