The JD Williams Group comprises of a large number of brands and hundreds of employees from various divisions spread across a number of locations. The challenge facing us was to design and develop a friendly, engaging online hub where group information could be shared simply and effectively.

The main areas of the business (Head Office, Logistics and Call Centres) each have their own area of the intranet which features up to date news information, contact details and a vast array of downloadable Human Resource documentation. The site handles recruitment with job postings showing across all divisions.

In addition to the corporate intranet we worked with the Management Development team to design an build Simply Development – an online training and development site focused on personal and professional improvement. Site administrators can add documents to any of the key training sections, advertise classroom based courses and accept bookings, and maintain the online library with the system even managing which physical books are out on loan.

Many training environments scare users off at the first visit but we were very careful to create an approachable site that takes users through very clear navigation to quickly and simply find the information they need.

We’re already talking about additional features and extras to make the sites even better!
