16 // Keeping it Brief
OK, we’re half way through the magazine so here’s the commercial break:
a brief update on what we’ve been up to recently at The Completely Group…
WWW MEANS WILKINSON
WILLIAMS WEBSITE!
THE COMPLETELY GROUP’S HIGHLY-CREATIVE
AND TECHNICALLY INNOVATIVE APPROACH
HAS PROVIDED US WITH A WEBSITE THAT
NOT ONLY LOOKS GREAT, BUT MANAGES TO
PRESENT A LOT OF DETAILED INFORMATION
IN A FORMAT WHICH IS EASY TO NAVIGATE
MILES MARTEN, MANAGING PARTNER WILKINSON WILLIAMS
The Completely Group has built a new website for the
specialist retail property consultancy, Wilkinson Williams.
Wilkinson Williams is ranked as the leading retail warehouse agent,
and has leasing instructions totalling more than 20 million sq ft.
The comprehensive overhaul of the firm’s site has created an online
platform which is fully responsive (making it mobile and tablet
friendly) and incorporates various new technologies and features.
The firm’s Managing Partner, Miles Marten, comments: “A state-of
the-art online presence is essential for our business. The Completely
Group’s highly-creative and technically innovative approach has
provided us with a website that not only looks great but manages
to present a lot of detailed information in a format which is easy
to navigate”.
The Completely Group’s New Media Manager, James Bridge-Butler,
comments: “The property section on the site is powered by
CompletelyRetail.co.uk and we’ve developed a sophisticated
search functionality that allows visitors to search for properties by
scheme and availability”.

This
sporting life
Rather in the style of Forrest Gump,
it was not that long ago that The
Completely Group’s Production
Manager, Mark Bailey, suddenly
decided to “run for a while”.
Since then he has completed
the Hampton Court Palace Half Marathon, the Surrey
Half and the Brooklands Half Marathon in preparation
for the Brighton Marathon. Mark’s efforts are in support
of Prostate Cancer UK and you can donate on his Just
Giving page at www.justgiving.com/Mark-Bailey66
Not to be outdone by Mark’s efforts, several of our
team also competed in the Surrey Half Marathon
with Andy Fleetwood, Wei Li, Jess Oakden, and
Ben Parer all successfully completing the race.
IS YOUR WEBSITE
‘ADAPTABLE’?
From April 21st, if a Google search is made from a mobile phone,
the search results that are generated will only include websites that
have been optimised for viewing on handheld devices.
Google is responding to the changing trends of internet access and
will give a higher ranking to websites that are fully optimised and
adaptable for mobile access. According to the Office for National
Statistics, accessing the internet with a handheld device rose from
24% of all internet traffic in 2010 to 58% in 2014.
All businesses should now check to ensure that their websites are
optimised accordingly.
The Completely Group build all
new websites to be responsive by
default, and are starting to re-build
older sites on request.
For more on search engine
optimisation, see our latest
Cheat Sheet on page 22.

INVESTMENTS
ON THE UP
Judging by the work coming
through the Completely
studio, there is no let-up in the
volume of property investment
assets that are coming to
market, Completely’s Ben Parer
comments: “Already this year we
have completed 52 investmentorientated projects for 10 of
London’s top-flight agencies.
The work involves assets that
represent in excess of
1.15 million sq ft, with a market
value of close to £300m”.
ONLINE GOES FROM
STRENGTH TO
STRENGTH
This March saw record
numbers of properties listed
across Completely’s portals.
The comprehensive scheme
databases of over 16,000 Retail,
Industrial, Science and Business
Parks, Shopping Centres, major
Offices and Serviced Offices
provides occupiers with detailed
information, availability and the
agents’ contact details.
The number of sponsored
or enhanced schemes were
significantly boosted by the likes
of Lothbury, New River Retail,
Threadneedle and Royal London
who have recently chosen The
Completely Group to help
promote their property assets to
a wider audience.
So block out September
