Briggs & Forrester is one of the UK’s leading building services engineering companies with a turnover of over £170m. Their reputation has been achieved through a high quality, results orientated approach combined with today’s growing emphasis on energy efficiency, energy conservation and other environmental issues.

 

This project forms part of a larger program of design and delivery for B&F which also includes a new 48 page Corporate Brochure to compliment the new websites.

 

Affinity is proud to have won this prestigious account ahead of 11 other agencies.

 

Briggs & Forrester has established itself as a leading player in the building services market providing a range of engineering design, installation and maintenance services to the construction industry.

 

Our remit was to review and enhance the core brand and create a way to effectively market the five companies that make up the Briggs & Forrester Group as one business.

 

We created a term ‘Groupification’ and focused on the core needs of the business, which was to enable the business to win prestigious multi-million pound contracts without competing with each other internally and confusing the client as to which business was doing what!

 

In the end we chose to present Briggs & Forrester as one business delivering an end-to-end service through three divisions, ‘Concept,  ‘Design & Install’ and ‘Maintenance’. Which of the five businesses that actually deliver the service is not relevant to the client, a seamless service and solution is!

 

We used the Drupal Multisite platform to deliver the main Corporate website, two Micro sites and a Staff extranet.

 

Briggs & Forrester has a relatively small client base the websites are primarily designed to reinforce the core brand message and help close business deals rather than open doors. 

 

Though Affinity has aspirations on Briggs & Forrester’s behalf to achieve this as well with the websites.
