Hi all,

You can see by my profile I am with Barloworld. I can tell you that our business is doing fine even though times remain tough. As we have just published corporate earnings in South Africa I am now free to say that we have had good and expanding overall profits in our US operations over the last 6 months. We are also looking to grow our technician base and have a lot of openings. Our rental business has been great and we have invested over $12 Million in our rental fleet this year (plan on over $8 million more in the next). Our equipment (new and used) business has also seen great growth over last year. To the BW folks that read this - thanks and keep on hustling!
