To our valued REM readers,

In today's day and age, change is inevitable. We wanted to inform you that Rob Robertson, long time editor of PEM and REM magazines, will be stepping aside from his duties. Rob has been a mainstay in PEM for 8 years. We thank him sincerely for his hard work, insight into the market and creative input into the direction of the magazine.

As we make the transition, we are very pleased to welcome André Voshart as the new PEM and REM editor. When you meet André, you will immediately recognize he brings a fresh, new perspective to the table. André has shown exceptional potential and we know you will welcome him into the world of maintenance and reliability. You can reach André at avoshart@clbmedia.ca
