"We're starting the year as we mean to go in - innovating and improving the title. We've a new team in place and the design was the first thing to be re-assessed.  A fresher look has been developed to make Windows more readable and easier to navigate. We will be adding some new editorial columns including more coverage of growth sectors and market opportunities.  The editorial will help readers facing the significant market challenges in this time of new legislation, fierce competition and increasing pressures on margins."
