Welcome to the new UKRG web site and brand!
Our new web site is now up and running. It has been designed to fit with our new visual identity. We hope it will provide an easier and contemporary forum for Registrars, so please take a moment to explore the new pages. Please note that our web address has now changed to www.ukregistrarsgroup.org
New UKRG Brand
The Committee worked with Red Leader Industries to develop a fresh, clear, modern and flexible brand that will represent the Group, its reputation, its objectives and aspirations; a brand that will be consistent across all our activities.
The new brand was launched at the Annual General Meeting on 31 October and at the November European Conference in Basel.
It is now very important that all members start using the UKRG publications in the new brand design and also guide other colleagues (non-members) to use them, i.e. Facilities Report, Display Case & Security Supplements and Courier guidelines. All of them can be found on the web site.
Help us spread our new visual identity and make the Group even better known!
E-bulletin
One of the features of the new web site is a dedicated news page to be updated monthly. Once a month all members now receive an e-bulletin informing them of all the news, job adverts and other new announcements to be found on the web site. Please let us know what you think of the new e-bulletin.
Membership Database
One of the important applications we have set up is a database to manage our membership list. Members will be automatically subscribed to this database. New signed up members are notified by email and can unsubscribe if they so wish, or forward emails to friends.
Members can now edit their details on the web site themselves. By doing so when your details change, you help UKRG keep our membership list up-to-date.
There is also now a facility to help members log in if they have forgotten their password. It is essential that all members keep their login details handy in order to access the members area.
Your contribution
We aim to build up a bank of photographs and images, including taking photographs at all events, and to evaluate the new site over the coming year.
If you are happy to share photographs of your building, galleries, an exhibition installation, unloading of crates from a lorry, an old or new store, or any other eye-catching pictures, we would be happy to add them to the site.
It is also essential that we get feedback about the site, including what you think works well or any problems you’ve had and any ways in which you think the site can be improved. There is a feedback form on the site for this purpose.
You will all be able to contribute news articles, FAQs and photographs of Registrars at work (and at play). Please contact our Web Developer, Stephanie Bush or our Web Editor, Kathy Richmond, with your ideas.
This site is for you. Help us make it work for you.
