We are working very hard on renewing the group's range of websites. The old ones are beginning to look dated and website technology, as well as fashion, moves on very quickly. The new Bourne Sport site is already up and running, showing some interesting case studies from the contracting activities. Meanwhile, the Gardenscape and Bourne Amenity sites are likely to go live early in the New Year. That leaves the John Bourne & Co site, which we will do in-house, and the bourne.uk.com Bourne Group portal site, which should go live over the holidays (but you can have a sneak preview here).

The Gardenscape site will be a full e-commerce site, allowing visitors to order their materials with a quick click (and credit card number, to be sure!). Bourne Amenity will be showcasing the full range of products and delivery options, majoring on technical specs and usage case studies. And the John Bourne site will try to show both the haulage side and the "traditional" farming support services with lime and compost spreading.

We will then have four main sites, each representing one arm of the business; a portal site directing visitors to whichever main site is most relevant, as well as providing quick contact information; and of course this site, The Bourne Connection, keeping you uptodate with news and events across the business.
