There are plenty of mixed messages about the state of the economy. This week’s newsletter has coverage of both growth and contraction. But there’s also a strong warning that forklift companies need to act now if they want to prosper in the future. A British report covered this week urges companies to look at their sales performance and change their cost base to meet those sales expectations. It’s not rocket science, but sometimes it takes dramatic developments to get us to recognise the obvious.
