Hello from the editor
Welcome to our latest edition of Chemistry Connected which I can hardly believe is now three years old … what a proud day !
Our objectives from a marketing capacity continue to morph as the industries in which our group operate evolve . We do however , ( I feel ) always have a responsibility to keep our group business divisions fully aligned with customer requirements , industry changes and of course competitor news . It is also key that we continue to develop mechanisms that provide ������������������������������������������������������ services , ensuring we capitalise on commercially competitive or potentially high-growth product areas . We will continue to use this formula for 2017 across Airedale Chemical Group Holdings .
But for now back to Chemistry Connected … so what can you expect from this our sixth edition ? Well we have the usual diverse spread of news and views from Airedale Chemical , Airedale Solutions and Rigest as well as a special ‘ this is your life type ’ feature celebrating the fantastic contribution of two of our long-serving Airedale Chemical Directors , Stephen Wilkinson and John Peacock . You will discover our usual features exploring goings-on from within chemicals , retail and ingredients such as ‘ Bite Size ’ which returns for a second stint explaining the latest trends in Food and Drink . We also feature another edition of ‘ Top down on retail ’ giving the low down on the highs and not so highs from within the world of retail . A personal favourite though is our latest Product Focus providing some highly insightful information on modern day Hospital Cleaning and the best chemicals for the job .
We hope you enjoy the read and remember for more information on any of our companies please visit the relevant websites which can be found on the back cover .
Happy Reading
