We would like to wish every one of our newsletter readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. As in previous years, rather than sending Christmas cards, we are sending seasons greetings electronically to keep in line with our environmental policy and we are also making a donation to Martin House Children's Hospice which is local to The Technology Forge.

The Health and Safety Executive has published the results of its latest asbestos in schools inspection initiative.

The Technology Forge's Leeds User Group 2014 will take place on Wednesday 3rd December at Round Foundry Media Centre, Leeds. The agenda is currently being finalised but we can promise a whole new set of presentations, workshops and guest speakers.

We are delighted to announce the results from our 2014 Customer Satisfaction Survey. Once again we've had some very positive comments as well as a number of enhancement requests which are being reviewed and will be fed into the development process wherever possible.
