VEKA Group’s Head of Partner Programmes Karen Lund explains: “We’re really excited to launch the new website which I, personally, believe will set a new standard for the indus- try. A huge amount of hard work has gone into it, and there are lots of innovative new features and interactive areas which should prompt an increase in traffic that will raise the profile of IN and, in turn, our membership across the country. The launch of the new site is being supported by paid-for digital adver- tising, and also coincides with Independent Network’s collaboration with Sainsbury’s and House Beautiful Magazines. “The previous Independent Network site was only three years old, but we had identi- fied areas that could be improved and – like our members - we are not satisfied with anything less than perfect quality.” www.inveka.co.uk
