May 2008

It’s the same address, but a brand new home for the British Lime Association as it launches its new-look public website at www.britishlime.org.

The site, which has been extensively redeveloped, will help raise the profile of the work of the Association and its existing member companies.

Aside from an eye-catching new look, the site offers the BLA far more flexibility to communicate the major issues being addressed by the association, ranging from the Emissions Trading Scheme and Climate Change to the Regulation of Chemicals.

Major new elements include a new section on lime uses, technical information for customers in industry and an educational resource full of photos, diagrams and animations.  

Members believe that the new site will not only increase the number of visitors, document downloads and pages viewed, but will become the principal site for people looking to access information on industrial lime and will allow the BLA to communicate even more effectively with stakeholders and the public.
