October 2004 Issue Part 1

Dear Voltimum User,

So much to say, so little space!....Are you aware that the government is pushing local authorities to do business on-line? If you can’t deal with them electronically you may lose out. @UK appears to provide a simple solution to those companies who want to stay one step ahead of the rest. See below for more.

UK market leaders unveil six new products this month. Take a look at our articles below.

Our company spotlight for October is on Hager who are giving away 12 Xenon torches to readers who take the time to find out more about their company.

There is nothing we like more than feedback from Voltimum users so we are glad to introduce a new feature called ‘Letter of the month’. Do many of you empathise with our reader who claims he cannot certify his own handywork for Part P despite being a JIB qualified electrician? Read our Letter of the Month and have your say in our Forum.

Prize winners galore. Results of September’s competitions are announced below– see if you won one of last month’s prizes by scrolling to the end of our email. We are rewarding users for their loyalty so do visit us more than once in October and you could win a great prize.
