Bibby Line Group's 'Giving Something Back' programme seeks to encourage fundraising and volunteering within the group. Developed by Zircom, their new website tells the stories of their volunteering and fundraising activities.

With initiatives happening all over the world - from darts tournaments to sponsored silences, from skydives to fun runs - Bibby Line Group needed a space to tell their stories, and to show the people behind them.

Working with the company's existing visual identity, Zircom were able to design a website with the space to put across the human side of the fundraising, using a strong photographic style to let the fantastic fundraising stories tell themselves.

It's all change here at Zircom, with the team growing to take on a host of new talent, as well as saying goodbye to one of our most popular faces. After 3 years of dedicatedly working for our clients, Account Manager Chris Mosley hangs up his mouse and keyboard and jets off for foreign climes. Chris has flown the coop to travel around The Americas, and we wish him well in his continental exploits - he'll be missed.

Fortunately, however, his chair has barely had time to stop spinning before we've filled it with a more than capable replacement in the shape of new Account Manager Clare Brown. Clare joins us with a tremendous amount of experience, and will be a worthy successor to Mr Mosley - in the short time she's been here, she's already made more cups of tea for the team than Chris ever did, so perhaps it's a change for the better!

Clare's not the only addition to the Zircom fold of late, with a further four new faces to meet...

Zircom have added a new signing to the squad with Fergus Magennis joining Michael's external web team. Ferg brings with him not only the most Scottish name in history, but also a broad depth of talent that is already paying dividends both for the team and our increasing client roster.

Hired for his talented web development skills, Ferg possess the right blend of creative and technical understanding of our CMS platforms whilst also adding some laconic cool to the floor. A background in marketing and databases has allowed Account Manager Michael to share the load with him from the get go, fitting in very quickly and bringing added value.

When not assisting the delivery of large digital projects, Ferg likes nothing more than playing rugby (Anselmians and Oxton Spartans), walking his 36kg dog, playing the drums and inventing. Yes, inventing. As the ‘new boy' Ferg is now on Bin Duty but has thus far avoided being added to the Opening Up or Kitchen rota. This is likely to change. It's safe to say that Zircom have added another jewel to the crown - intelligent, hardworking and a little bit eccentric. Think Animal from The Muppets with a gumshield.

When not delivering our clients outstanding marketing and communications pieces, we at Zircom like nothing more than a challenge. Earlier in the year, we all made a pledge to become more proactive in charitable work - or at least raise money for causes both worthwhile and close to our heart.

Of course this year's focus was Movember Foundation. Set up in 2004, these guys focus on raising money and awareness for men's health issues, namely prostate cancer and depression. It was only right that we ourselves took on the challenge of ‘growing the Mo' (even the girls) for the 30 days of November. Cue panic, client meeting paranoia and the scramble to secure the Director's charitable donation...
Who I might add has yet to start. Tut tut.

The Financial Times have recently published their annual rankings for the most effective corporate websites - announcing Shell at the very top of the list!

This is brilliant news for Zircom, as our committed service to Shell has contributed to this overall 1st place ranking. Over the years Zircom have effectively produced and continue to manage several business sites that fall under the overall Shell.com umbrella.

Speaking about the list, Shell’s head of communications, Simon Saville, said: “Today’s news reflects the hard work done by the team over the past years to improve the structure, navigation and content of our websites”

“Beyond the web team itself, many others have played a part in this success including IT teams and Editorial Services. We also rely on good relationships with our internal stakeholders, focal points and content owners and would like to thank them for their support as well.”

Zircom is very proud of this great achievement and will continue our hard work and committed service to the Shell team.

In July, Shell ran a 'best intranet site' amongst the many internal communications teams who manage its many intranet sites. The award was to go to the site which was most effectively managed.

When the winners were announced, Zircom had real cause for celebration - the number 1 site amongst the 500 entries was their own Shell Sulphur Solutions website. What's more, Contracting and Procurement and Shell Bitumen claimed the second and third spots - both of which are Zircom-managed sites!

To take the top three spots in an internal communications competition run by such a prestigious company as Shell is a real feather in our cap.

When Shell's Commercial Fuels business resolved to develop their online presence, they turned to Zircom to transform their ideas into a reality.

Pushing the oil giant's visual identity to the limit, the newly-launched site combines a simple-to-navigate structure with a sleek and professional style, allowing the strengths of the business to shine through and engage the visitor on their own merit. With its impactful visuals and interactive, engaging approach, the website presents a welcome addition to the Shell online fraternity, and another feather in the cap for Zircom.
