» THIS MONTH ’ S EDITION IS JAMpacked with exhibitors ’ previews for the expo and I ’ m hoping we ’ ll have enough time to get around it all and see everyone , plus catch up with visitors too . Aside from all the show news we have in the magazine , Amy has caught up with two brilliant readers of ours to pick their brains on life as a locksmith . I know you ’ ll enjoy reading their stories as much as I did and I hope it inspires you to get in touch too and share your own tales and tricks of the trade .
Now that The Locksmith Journal is monthly , the best part is getting to catch up with you all on a more regular basis . Without a doubt , it is you – the real locksmiths – that make this magazine a success . So , we want to hear all about your work and your lives to fill our pages with your stories .
You may already have received an email questionnaire from Sophie asking what ‘ a day in your life ’ is really like . We are fascinated by what you do every day and we want to put together as many of these profiles to showcase the world of locksmithing right here on the pages of our magazine . We want to provide a snapshot into each of your days for new locksmiths and novices to locksmiths who work in different areas , to those on the other side of the world .
There are so many things we want to know about here at The Locksmith Journal , but more importantly we know you want to know about them too , so if you can help please , please get in touch – and don ’ t worry we don ’ t need you to be an expert writer , we can help with that – we need locksmiths not wordsmiths ! Likewise , if you want to know more about something , get in touch and we will try our very best to find the right person to answer to question .
See you next time , Gemma
