The difference a year makes H
ello & welcome to the October issue of Factory & Handling Solutions.
I personally cannot believe it’s been a whole year since our
rebranding from Factory Equipment Magazine and Materials Handling & Logistics, to the magazine you see before you today. The redesign and bumper launch issue were a labour of love and late nights, but it was worth every second, and I hope you’ll all still agree! Thank you as always for your support. This year has seen challenges that no one could predict, but I’m so proud we’re still standing through the uncertainty, and I’m sure many of you will feel the same about your own businesses. There are many trials in the next year ahead, the unknown of the Coronavirus and Brexit, and I hope we can all take a moment to just appreciate that, it has been rough personally and economically for many of us, and well done getting through this far.
