Dear reader,

Before everyone descends into the end-of-year seasonal festivities, we would like to treat you to the last edition of the 2007 InTouch. As you must have noticed already, we’ve made some extra efforts this time: the layout has been restyled and our approach has changed slightly…

The basic idea behind InTouch will, of course, remain ‘untouched’. This newsletter is our pre-eminent communications tool to strengthen our ties with you. But more than just keeping you posted on new products and events, we wish to cater to your information needs and requirements.

In a brief survey, included in the summer edition of InTouch, we asked you, our readers, what really interested you just then. What protection concerns they had. What topics they’d like to know more about. That has already resulted in a first dedicated article - the ABC of examination gloves -, which you’ll discover on page 3.

We’re happy with the results and intend to pursue this new format. But you, of course, are the main figure in all this. We truly hope that you like the new-look InTouch. If you have any questions, suggestions or comments, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

In the meantime: enjoy the festive season and have a good start to a prosperous New Year.

Happy reading,

Werner Heintz - Sr Vice President & Regional Director Europe, Ansell Healthcare
