The new NETWORKING4PROFESSIONALS website has been launched with a more up-to-date design and improved functionality. Lawrence Mbugua, who has been leading the re-design project over the past three months, said: “As well as giving the website a cleaner, more professional and a more modern design, we wanted to make it more user-friendly as well as more functional – which meant completely overhauling the structure”

The new structure will allow us to expand and extend the functionality and content of the site in a more ordered way. The new website has customised levels of structure for our key audiences:
