Sales and Marketing Report
Scott MacKay, Sales and Marketing

As many who read this article will attest to, the last quarter of 2009 has certainly proved to be extremely challenging for us all. Many of us have experienced several previous cycles and know that things will eventually improve.  The big question (which I frequently hear from my grandkids) is, "Are we there yet?"   It's quite likely that we still have a ways to go before we can say we're "out of the woods," but there are some encouraging signs.  The volume of projects being bid remains quite high and we’re told that there has been an uptick in activity for our Architectural colleagues.  We know that this activity will eventually translate into new opportunities for us, but that could still take some time.

Meanwhile, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all of our friends and colleagues a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season and Good Fortune for 2010.
