Hello again,
It is great to see that so many GAMBICA member’s products have been shortlisted for the Lab Innovations awards. It is also a great testament to the quality of your products that 27 have made it to the shortlist for the 14 awards and even better that 7 individuals from GAMBICA member companies have also been recognised for their contribution and potential. Fingers crossed everyone. Meanwhile, GAMBICA will be running a seminar session on the second day of the Lab Innovations exhibition. It will be on the topic of Lab Automation so if you are attending the event in November, do come and say hello. Now is also the start of the ‘busy season’ for labs with exhibitions both in the UK and overseas. I know how hard many of you will be working to plan your strategies for making sure sales meet targets in the coming year. Economic predictions seem to be indicating some on-going softness in the market so I imagine that everyone will be having to put in that little bit more effort, so if we can help – let me know, that’s what we are here for!
Toodle pip!
Jacqueline
