First the
recession was here, and then it wasn't, but then it hadn't
gone away - no wonder we were all confused as to the real
state of the world economy. Our clients have told us that
things have certainly slowed down, but there is real optimism
for 2010 and beyond for those businesses that have their own
house in order.
Here
at ACM Ahlers it has been a year of change -
we have moved to a new computer system, which did not go as
smoothly as we would have hoped - but full credit to all our
staff who can see the long term benefits and are helping us to
bed the system down. And a big 'THANK YOU'
to all our clients who have noted the new
documentation and have helped us to get the paperwork and
information correct.
There is now an
optimism that we can see 'light at the end of the tunnel' and
the real benefits we will all derive from having a future
proofed interactive system.
We
are now into the second year of our merger and are starting to
see some of the real benefits of our joint organisation which

Well Christmas
and the holiday period is almost here and all at ACM
Ahlers hope that you will take the time to recharge
your batteries after what has been, for most of us, a
challenging year. 
While overseas travel can be an
exciting prospect, there can be situations where things may go
wrong, and travelers could find themselves faced with a
medical emergency, or finding the funds to replace lost
luggage, or having to make an urgent trip home.
