The Future is Ship-Shape campaign launched (excuse the pun!) earlier in the week to support the recruitment campaign for a thousand new jobs to engineer and build new ships in Scotland, specifically the production of two of the biggest aircraft carriers ever built in Britain.

The site is aimed at school leavers, adult apprentices, graduates, skilled workers and parents with specific areas for all audiences. The site includes career path advice, case studies and excellent industry contact details – this is a valuable resource for all those considering shipbuilding as a career.

You may have seen the Scotsman article and so you’ll understand what a challenge this will be!

What they’ll build a battling behemoth

AIRCRAFT: 40, such as F-35B fighters. Or 25 Chinook helicopters.

HANGARS: 29,000sq m – equivalent to 12 Olympic swimming pools.

SCHEDULE: HMS Queen Elizabeth expected to enter service around 2016. HMS Prince of Wales two years later.

CONSTRUCTION: Four main companies involved – Babcock Marine, BVT Surface Fleet, BAE Systems Submarine Solutions and Thales Group.

The power and autonomy of CMS (content management system) publishing can be daunting for those used to operating in an offline environment. Not so for Robertson who have embraced their CMS, actively updating projects, news, job vacancies and continually look for ways to appeal to a broader audience online.

Blonde were briefed to provide the Robertson Group with a new website, accommodating 10 sub-sites for all of the individual companies within the Group.

The Group site holds all the information for Robertson’s core business, with the sub-sites holding information specific to their companies and regions.  All sites carry consistent branding and functionality, with a multi-level CMS (Content Management System) designed to support the different access levels of Robertson employees.

Much effort has been invested in achieving a highly visual site that carries a life of its own and aims to be much, much more than simply an information hub of a bricks and mortar business.
