CIP - Hounslow.info

When the CIP Group took over Hounslow Council’s leisure services as part of a public-private partnership, it needed a dynamic new website at the heart of its operation. The company’s brief is to manage a wide variety of the local authority’s facilities ranging from leisure centres and libraries, to tourist attractions and historic houses.

The website has to act as an ever-changing information resource, which is managed by CIP’s own staff and readily accessed by the local consumers.

‘We use the Grouptree CMS to run a number of sites so that we can keep our customers constantly informed and up-to-date. The Hounslow site has particular object relationships between venues, locations and events and the Grouptree solution handles this particularly well.

Grouptree’s CMS is extremely flexible and very easy to use, we are very happy with the system and with Grouptree's ongoing support; we would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.’
