EDITOR’S NOTE<br />
Welcome to this edition of <strong>Welding</strong> <strong>World</strong>.<br />
And things don’t get much more exciting for this publication as we have the second <strong>Welding</strong><br />
<strong>World</strong> Awards now very close at hand.<br />
The shortlist of businesses in the running for our categories has now been announced and<br />
this in itself is a cause for celebration as it shows all of the hard work which is going on in our<br />
industry.<br />
There are so many diversions at the moment for business in general and not just in our own<br />
sector. The awards are a timely reminder that there can be no substitute for rolling up our<br />
sleeves and getting on with the task in hand. The rewards for those who do this are there for<br />
all to see and we look forward to naming the very best at the event in Birmingham.<br />
Our special guest and host for the evening is Eamonn Holmes so if you haven’t booked tickets<br />
already please do so now as we are sure it will be a special night.<br />
And of course for those who are in the running for an award the marketing and promotion<br />
of your success should already be underway. Use our links and our logo and make sure that<br />
clients and customers are aware how brilliant your business is.<br />
Among a host of great articles and features in this edition we are also delighted to run a special<br />
on the workshop environment - we will be spotlighting many more in issues to come.<br />
Enjoy all the best features, reviews and regular columns that <strong>Welding</strong> <strong>World</strong> provides, keeping<br />
you in touch with all the news that matters in the industry.<br />
