April 2010
We kick off this issue with an uplifting article where CEN interviews Patrice De Marginy, Managing Director Vehicle and Asset Finance with Standard Bank. Patrice's upbeat energy and optimism is contagious and serves to encourage all South Africans in renewing our confidence in the country.
As always, we cover a variety of important and informative subjects, from new products and services within the industry, to what the OEMs are up to and who is being given what contracts, where.
Next Month: The bauma 2010 would have come and gone - 19 to 25 April - and by then, in time for the May issue, CEN will have gleaned insights as to what the exhibitors' expectations were.
We run the second of our quarterly Yellow Metal Trends where specialists within the financial sector are invited to discuss what the last quarter held for the industry and so too, the second quarterly Lifting feature.
So, be informed and enjoy the read!
