Editor Richard Howes said: “When I took over the editorship of Hoist in May 2006, I made it priority to increase the magazine’s exposure among end users. Getting those with purchasing power, and those who use and operate equipment within their facilities, onto the circulation list has been no quick-fix, but we’re getting there.”
The industry has been asked to hand-pick its first panel members.
Put simply, the board will demonstrate to readers and those who invest in the product that it is going to the right people in the business, and that the title is willing to listen and adapt to the needs of the industry.
As a board member, end users will be among the first invited to contribute to new print and online initiatives.
Manufacturers and crane builders have been asked to put forward customers who they feel would be specifically suited to this project. End users themselves can also put themselves forward or recommend colleagues.
The first members could be unveiled as early as the September or October issues.
