In terms of new products what are your predictions for the next year?

Predicting the future is very hard, but feel that Tahe Marine products will start to pick up as they are new to the UK and have a good entry price for beginners. Also new technical equipment from Palm should sell well as this is quality and the research and development that goes into these products is second to none.
