Hello,

Putting together my first issue of Nursery Industry has been a challenging, but ultimately rewarding experience and I am looking forward to taking the magazine forward into 2009 and beyond. Having talked extensively with manufacturers, suppliers and retailers at the Harrogate Nursery Fair, I couldn't wait until May to bring you the review - check it out now on page 17! On page 10 we bring you Editor's Choice, highlighting good new products, while over on page 20 we find out what retailers can do to support Nursery Education at home. What's more, in the first of a series of interviews with retailers across the UK, we talk to Sally Starley, founder of Tiny Tots in Ashford Kent.
