CONTENTS From the editor
Welcome to the new look ACR News
T
he summer of 2016 will always be remembered as the beginning of a new era – leaving the EU and all the ramifi cations that brings. Many questions have been raised already but alas, it’s far too early to answer most of them. However, when faced with the prospect of change, there are many ways of looking at it and those businesses that thrive, are those that look for the new opportunities. Here at ACR News, we have our own new era. Eagle-eyed online readers will have already noticed the new logo rolling out across our digital platforms and social media. Now, the ACR News magazine you are holding in your hands – or looking at in digital form on the
acr-news.com website or the app – has also undergone a complete transformation with new elements and more surprises to come, which we hope you will enjoy and fi nd useful. The ACR News Awards event has also been completely overhauled with some signifi cant and exciting developments – keep an eye out for the new website which will be launched later this month.
In the meantime, here’s to change and the opportunities it brings.
