It’s hard to believe that this week we’re facing the fall-out from another natural catastrophe. All our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Japan and especially those communities decimated by the recent earthquake and tsunami. The scale of the disaster is difficult to comprehend, despite the graphic television coverage and the general media reports. Of course, Japan is used to dealing with disasters, and the composure of the people affected is to be commended. We are also heartened by the community support demonstrated by Japanese industry, including a number of forklift players. Surely, their example will be followed by their counterparts in other markets. Let’s hope that Japan gets back on its feet and that the people recover from the tragedy which has befallen them.
