BLOWN AWAY!
We're quite blown away by the fantastic positive response to our first issue. Thank you for all those wishes of encouragement and support. As well as allowing ourselves a small pat on the back, we reckon the response reflects the long-held need for a professional magazine to cover landscape contracting, highlighting best practice, stimulating debate and discussion, promoting trade by putting buyers in touch with sellers. We're not getting carried away. As winning sports teams say these days, we
know there are things to work on, areas to improve. Some readers were disappointed that their particular corner of the industry wasn't covered. Well, watch this space as they say. We're sure you'll find something for you in this or upcoming issues.
And talking of being blown away, how about the weather at IOG Saltex? Our stand was literally carried away by the gales! It was a great show, and good to meet many of you to get your reactions and content ideas. So see what you think of this issue. There's our big interview with Landscape Group's Nick Temple-Heald, latest membership briefings from the APL and BALI, tips on working collaboratively, plus all our regular features. Don’t forget, the APL are calling for entries for their 2012 awards, see page 30 for details on how to enter. We'd love to know what you think. Lisa & Jim Wilkinson
