British Association of Seating Equipment Suppliers Launches New Website

The British Association of Seating Equipment Suppliers (BASES) is delighted to announce the launch of a brand new website to act as an information portal for the seating industry. The new site, hosted at www.basesuk.com provides BASES members with a site that enhances their membership and the administrational support provided to members.

Users will immediately notice that the site has a new layout and design which seeks to represent the wide range of seating designs produced by the membership. Information is grouped so that the site is easy to navigate and will be updated regularly with industry news, member's news and a download gallery to provide guidance to buyers. In the next few months BASES will re-issue its Blue Guide to act as a hand book for everyone involved in a new seating installation and this will be available to download online from the BASES Website towards the end of 2008.

The CMS and CRM systems that underpin the site will mean that it is easier to communicate with members and members will now have access to a private section of the website where they can find out more confidential information such as meeting minutes as well as being able to input into industry statistics online which will be a great new feature.

Speaking about the site, the newly appointed BASES chairman Patrick Donoghue commented that members are delighted with the final outcome of the new site. "From almost the ground up, the current membership have worked hard over the past two years to develop the BASES name, working on policies, technical guides and ethical practice methods," he said. "The ultimate aim is to create a body which on which all users involved with seating, from building managers, designers right through to main contractors, can rely on for support and to provide information on all aspects of the seating industry.

"The launch of the website heralds a real breakthrough in the progress that has been made; this will be the facility from which our members and users will be able to share information, reference technical matters and source the right company and product for the application. With the help of the Federation of Sports and Play Associations we intend this to be the first major step in increasing the awareness of BASES and making membership of a supplier the absolute minimum requirement when choosing a company to work with on a seating project."

Clients seeking to tender for a seating contract will be able to view profiles of the various BASES members and this links directly with their sites. Buyers can be assured that member companies reach and go beyond all the relevant industry safety standards.
