The recent CEA Export Marketing Group meeting proved very useful for members. Mustapha Adams, Economic Counsellor for the South African High Commission, gave an excellent talk on the construction equipment market in South Africa and neighbouring countries. Limited copies of the booklet he distributed at the meeting are available from Pam Hyde. The booklet contains a comprehensive compilation of useful contact details in all areas of construction equipment.

The inward mission from Mexico has been re-scheduled for 18-20 February 2002. As mentioned on the Promoting Performance pages (4-5) a Primed for Export Regional Forum will be held on 19 February in the Leicester area, to coincide with the mission - and another on 5 March at the Railway Museum in York.
