This is the first of four daily GL@ZINES which you will be receiving direct from Glassex at the NEC, Birmingham. For the benefit of any of our new readers, The Gl@zine is usually a weekly and is transmitted on Tuesday morning. The aim is to give you news and views, and new product information, from the UK's major showcase for the window and glazing industry, which starts here at the NEC this morning, Sunday 3rd March and runs until Wednesday.

We hope you will still come along and check it out for yourself, and perhaps some of the following will whet your appetite enough to make the journey.

If you do not wish to receive future copies of The Gl@zine, please unsubscribe at this link. However, these can only be acted upon after we return from Glassex, so please bear with us until then

If you do make it to Glassex, there will be a warm welcome (and cold Champagne) on stand C050, where I and some colleagues will be happy to explain how The Gl@zine can help your business.

I hope to see as many of you as possible in the coming few days.
