In this issue...<br />
Inflation is up and I am sure the finishing industry knows this better than anyone. With<br />
fuel costs having risen exponentially, the energy hungry finishing industry is bearing a<br />
heavy price. It would be interesting to get some feedback as to whether these costs can<br />
be passed on to customers or are companies having to suck up the increased costs? I<br />
imagine it is a bit of both in order to stay in business. Also are companies embracing<br />
energy efficient solutions to counter these rising costs?<br />
We do have some good news stories in this issue, with Carlisle Fluid Technologies<br />
opening a new training centre and the CBA’s annual lunch returning. I’m not so sure<br />
that these are the green shoots of recovery, but it does show that life might be getting<br />
back to normal and that people are now interacting again.<br />
