Dear Clients / Collegues

We once again find ourselves at the end of another exciting year , but what a year its been , business is booming , interest rates are down , most companies are posting excellent results and the only small negative seems to be the fuel price and as I write this indications are that we should see some sort of positive movement on our fuel price , just in time for the annual haul to the coast.

In line with the positive business sentiment , Primedia will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in 2005 and strive to meet our clients expectations and to stay ahead of the pack in terms of innovation , sales excellence and new product offerings.

Instead of bombarding you with sales information in this newsletter , I have asked all our MD's to write a note of thanks to you all , enjoy the read. 

With Christmas just around the corner , it is also that time of year to buy gifts for loved ones , Ster Kinekor and Nu-Metro under the banner of SAFACT ( South African federation against copyright theft), have just launched a massive anti-piracy campaign to heighten awareness of pirated DVD's and CD's , please try and help out by not buying pirated copies at the side of the road.

All that is left, is for me to take this opportunity to thank you for the tremendous support given to the Primedia Group of companies during 2004 and to wish you and your loved ones a blessed and safe festive season.

Look forward to seeing you all safe and sound in 2005.

Very best wishes


Trevor Ormerod
