2018 has been a year of celebration for us, with Fab&Fix turning 30 and ERA reaching its 180th birthday. 2019 won’t see us rest on our laurels though, we’re aiming to provide better-than-ever levels of service and continuing to offer compelling and innovative solutions such as our smartware range. Products such as these are helping our customers to differentiate themselves from their competitors and thereby boost sales opportunities. That said, the new year will bring challenges on a number of fronts, not least thanks to Brexit, which is generating uncertainty for business.

However, I am confident that sense will prevail and as an industry we will be able to tackle whatever the political landscape throws at us. Here at ERA we will continue to put customers first in order to help them meet the challenges of 2019.
