We've had a makeover - yes, we've had a long-overdue revamp here at CPM. We'll let our editor, Janine Adamson, explain further... "We've seen a few changes taking place at casa CPM, all of which have culminated in our new-look style. "I’m careful choosing my words here for a reason, and that’s because CPM’s heart and soul remain the same, we’ve just undertaken a rather long overdue facelift. Equally, I hope you’ll agree that we’ve not slipped into the dangerous territory of style over substance! "In some ways, refreshing CPM is a brave move but in others, it’s an absolute no- brainer. Why wouldn’t I want the magazine to be easily navigable and engaging, with improved clarity? For it to walk the walk, talk the talk and now, dress to impress? "We owe it to you and those who contribute to CPM, to do our utmost to ensure the magazine has a future. I hope enjoy our first new-look issue."
