Background
Founded in 1968, AGR, the Association of Graduate Recruiters, is an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting employers in all aspects of graduate recruitment. AGR represents over 600 organisations that, between them, offer a high proportion of graduate opportunities in the UK.

Following the move of its offices from Cambridge to Warwick, the Association only had a minimal web presence, with little corporate identity. Allman Horrocks Consulting were initially engaged to develop a new website for AGR, to reflect the role and identity of the organisation, and to provide facilities for promoting the publications and events available via AGR.

Project Summary
With the development of a new AGR corporate identity in 2001, AHC not only developed a new website based on this design, but also implemented a full content management system with which the AGR team could easily make updates to the site. This included the facility for the ordering of publications and events bookings on-line, a searchable business directory, together with a full conference booking system.

In 2002, AHC assisted AGR with the selection of a new membership administration system, to replace the numerous existing dated databases within the organisation, allowing AGR to rationalise its approach to managing and servicing its members.

Testimonial
“Allman Horrocks have been working with us on various projects since we moved to Warwick in 1999. During that time, they have helped us build on and substantially improve the e-commerce part of our business to a point where we now carry out 60% of our business transactions online.”

“As a small organisation, with limited resources, it is crucial that we work with a consultancy who are not only flexible but adaptable – I believe we have found this in the team at Allman Horrocks.”
