Read all about it! AFS!

At this year’s show we saw a considerable increase in foot fall over any of the shows that we attended last year and when the numbers are published, I am sure AFS will confirm that the numbers were well up on last year.

As usual it was great to see many of our customers at the booth, a significant number of prospects and to talk to many familiar faces.

There were a significant number, much higher than at previous shows, of people that we talked to that said that they had or were just about to make sizeable equipment purchases to increase their manufacturing capacity.

Most of the people that we talked to were also very confident that their levels of business were going up along with their backlogs and some even having to turn down new work to be able to maintain their levels of service.

A big thank you to everyone that we talked to for taking the time to come and see us and we wish everyone who attended all the best and look forward to seeing them at future shows.

Chris, Simon & Dan

  The outbreak of Covid-19 has raised great concern for the African continent due to the continent’s relatively weak health systems compared to Europe and the Global North, and the wide expanse of areas on the continent with no health services or systems in place.

  Making Sure You are in the Right Jungle
  
  Coveyism, borrowed from the late great Dr. Stephen R. Covey of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Principle Centered Leadership.
  
  If you want a clear understanding of the difference between management and leadership imagine the scene: someone going through the jungle with a machete cutting the undergrowth clearing it up. There are the producers down there, see, the workers. Here all the managers are, back here sharpening the machetes for them, putting on muscle development classes for machete wielders, setting up working schedules for machete wielders, handling jurisdictional disputes between machete wielders. The leader climbs the tallest tree in the jungle, surveys the entire scene, studies the larger picture and screams out “Wrong jungle” and all the managers shout back: Shut up we are making progress.1
  
  Through BRM and CRM, your metalcasting operations will always be making progress in the right jungle through improved communications and expanded relationships.
