Finishing - September-October 2023
As we reach the end of summer which has not been the greatest in terms of weather it will be interesting to see which way the wind is blowing in regard to the environment as the next general election approaches. I live close to London and the ULEZ extension has been on top of the agenda for many people. The statistics on London’s air quality are extremely worrying with the WHO saying that air pollution far exceeds limits. Do we ignore the evidence and continue to put lives at risk? I would imagine we would not like a polluting business near our home or place of work and it is impressive that finishing companies are stepping up and taking on board their environmental responsibilities. We are all aware that there is a cost involved, but it seems a small price to pay for a healthy future. John Hatcher, Editor

It’s the same in many industries,<br />
we never get the time to look<br />
after ourselves.<br />
We’ve been far too busy<br />
creating beautiful websites<br />
and building successful email<br />
campaigns for clients that our<br />
site relaunch has been pushed<br />
back again.<br />
This is not a complaint though,<br />
it’s what we at Reva call a nice<br />
problem, plus it shows that<br />
with us the customer indeed<br />
does come first.<br />
