Let the
figures speak for themselves
In
THE GL@ZINE this week we are pleased to be able to bring you another major
exclusive - the launch of Saint Gobain's revolutionary self-cleaning glass
- AQUACLEAN. THE GL@ZINE is of course the perfect medium for breaking
news and new product information. In the last two issue we have carried
no fewer than 34 exclusives, none of which had appeared in any print medium
at the time (see our ARCHIVE section). Our EXHIBITION
LIST is the most up-to-date anywhere, providing dates, details, web
and email links to some 28 events in the coming 12 months. THE GL@AZINE
also continues to provide the most effective medium for advertising JOBS
and items FOR
SALE.
Small
wonder then that we are beginning to receive such positive feedback:
'Congratulations on a brilliant concept and a well needed service. I'm
sure it will be a tremendous success'
Andrew Scott, Cambrian Windows.
'I would like to congratulate you on The Gl@zine, it was something really
missing from the British Industry'
Martin Bergant, Interconnection Consulting Group.
'I like the idea'
Lawrence Breakspear, KEB Fabrications
'I have found your newsletter very informative'
Andy Rogers, SAPA Building Systems
