Of more concern, however, are a number of forklift and materials handling businesses inundated in the flood. As it turned out, the area with the biggest cluster of forklift businesses, near the city's main produce market, was among the worst affected. However, as we finalised this week's newsletter, it appeared to be business as usual - or close to that - for all of them.
