From the editor Bigger and
better! W
elcome to this month’s bumper issue. Don’t worry, we’re still producing 12 issues
a year, but this month there’s such a lot happening in the industry that we’ve expanded the magazine to accomodate it all.
One of the areas that is still moving apace is the green agenda. While F-Gas is a big part of our lives, it’s only one element of the drive to make our industry environmentally friendly, and our enclosed Big Green Issue covers a wide variety of elements.
The ACR News Awards is in January 2018, which means that we are now open for entries. Get your thinking caps on and post your entry at
www.acrnewsawards.com One of the most important events in June is National Women in Engineering Day on 23 June – keep an eye out for more information on
www.acr-news.com
It’s great to see the positive and pro-active approach the industry is currently taking – it speaks of confidence. Long may it continue!
