Digger

I start this week with some really sad news which certainly came as a shock to me when I was told last Thursday.

Contract Journal a magazine that I have read all of my working life is to close at the end of November after 130 years in business along with ContractJournal.com.

RBI's Construction Group will continue to organise the SED exhibition, and will continue to run the SED365 website. It will also continue to publish the magazine Plant Managers' Journal, which will be renamed SED - the magazine.

This sad news will probably spell the end of my Digger blog in its present format although talks are still ongoing to see if it can be saved.

Dear readers please be rest assured that I will do my best to continue the blog in some format and will keep you informed over the next couple of weeks.

I owe it to you all for making the Digger blog the success it has become over the last 12 months and would like to personally thank you all for the hundreds of emails of encouragement and great material that I have received during that time.

I would also like to thank Will Mann for giving me the opportunity to do this and for having the faith to let a machine operator with a crazy passion for earthmoving machinery to fulfil a dream.

So for now we will continue as we were and lets enjoy our time here while we can!
