“Here to serve the water management industry”
and its environment digital magazine
FADS is an on-line source of news, events and information for the water management industry. The site is updated on a daily basis with current news and events and for those that miss the updates we also send out a ‘twice-monthly’ newsletter. FADS provides a directory service with product and company search facilities as well as consultant and contractor listings.
In January 2012, A Digital magazine - ‘Managing Water & its environment’ was launched, in association with FADS. Managing Water is targeted at the contractors, consultants and product/service users. It is a bi-monthly magazine and free to subscribe to.
Launched in May 2011, it went from 0 to 1,500 vistors per month in a little over 12 months and grows month by month. FADS has never advertised, it has grown through word of mouth, email marketing and a lot of hard work.
Between FADS and Managing Water Magazine, we are able to provide; • organisations with an opportunity to showcase their projects and promote events, • manufacturers and suppliers with the media to promote their products and services • site visitors and magazine readers with a useful source of news and information.
