Investis launches new website for Scottish & Newcastle
15/05/2006
Investis, Europe’s largest provider of corporate websites for publicly quoted companies, has relaunched the corporate website for Scottish & Newcastle plc. http://www.scottish-newcastle.com/
The rapid development of Internet technology, and ever increasing audience sizes, means that companies wishing to maintain their online profile must be willing to constantly reinvent their websites to keep visitors coming back again and again. Scottish & Newcastle are one of the companies who recognise this, and are proactive in keeping their website up to date. This, along with a growing need to reach a global audience and a desire to consolidate information regarding their expanding portfolio of products, were the main reasons for creating the new site.
The design of the company’s new website is highly contemporary, and is more user-friendly and appealing to various audiences. The site is divided into 6 sections: About S&N, Brands & Markets, Investors, Media, Careers and Responsibility. The sections are easy to navigate through, and feature intuitive related links and a host of different interactive tools designed to make the information contained on the site easier to find.
Some of the new features include:
- An interactive map which allows visitors to view information about Scottish & Newcastle’s numerous products, breweries and markets.
- A press centre where information packs can be downloaded, individually or grouped together, in either PDF or Word format.
- A collection of corporate video downloads, including management interviews and financial information.
- A careers section where applicants can research company culture and search for vacant positions.
- A comprehensive alert service for areas such as financial calendar and reports, vacant positions and regulatory news.
- An interactive and user-friendly contact directory.
All of this combines to make a website which is streamlined, accessible and consistent with the Scottish & Newcastle brand.
Lorna Donald, Corporate Affairs Executive at Scottish & Newcastle, commented:
"We are extremely
pleased with our new website, and have already received
positive reactions from many visitors. The overall look and design
of the
site, as well as the ease with which you can now navigate your way
through
it, have been greatly improved. The work the Investis team has done
is
professional, innovative and reliable. They worked closely with
us
throughout the whole process, taking the time to understand our
needs and
objectives, and suggesting solutions that improved the quality of
our
website immensely."
Justin Walters, Chief Executive at Investis, commented:
“We are delighted to have worked with Scottish & Newcastle to create a new website that demonstrates their dedication to communicating effectively with their many stakeholder groups. We are incredibly pleased with the end result and will continue to work closely with S&N to further develop their online presence.”
