It’s the time of year when many people celebrate a religious festival of some sort, so the Forkliftaction.com team would like to wish readers a merry Christmas, happy Hannukah and Habari Gani for those marking Kwanzaa.
It’s a time of reflection, and we’d like to thank all of those who have contributed to our work - and those who have benefited from it.
Forkliftaction.com News will take next week off, but we’ll be back on December 31st with a special edition looking back on the year that’s been and forward to what lies ahead in 2015.
However you celebrate next week, we hope that you enjoy the company of loved ones and the comforts and pleasures around you - and that you’ll join us in 2015 refreshed and enthused for the opportunities that lie ahead.
