wicked With the hire sector and manufacturers slowing down for the festive season, then not immediately springing back to life afterwards, it made it all the more galling that December and January are actually our busiest months – yours truly even working when supposedly on annual leave. Such selfless sacrifice – in having to produce a bigger than average magazine, assembling the Exec Hire Show guide, chasing up the Innovation Trail entries and helping to organise the Passionate Hirer Awards – is all in the pursuit of a packed and varied issue and, of course, a blockbuster event next month. Speaking of which, the show is
now completely sold-out, and it was an absolute pleasure to find hirers and suppliers in such obvious fine form, excited for the main event and on the cusp of further expansion. It all points to a great year in prospect and there’s no better way to get it going than EHS 2023, so here’s to it!
