NORTH VANCOUVER, BC, June 09, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Aggregate Industries, a supplier manufacturer of concrete and aggregate products for the construction industry in the UK, Channel Islands and Northern Europe, recently placed as one of the top 10 finalists for the Intranet Benchmarking Forum's Most Beautiful Intranet competition. Aggregate's "BRAINS" intranet, powered by Intranet Connections, out of the box social intranet software, landed in the top 10 against 36 other entries. The contest entries were voted on by 1,396 site visitors to produce 10 finalists who were then judged by a panel comprising of IBF managing director Helen Day, art critic Jane Singer and former BT intranet manager Mark Morrell.

"We were extremely pleased to hear that we had finished in the top ten" offers Brian Woodward, Senior Web Developer at Aggregate Industries, "By entering the competition, it gave us perspective on our intranet site and provided a forum for feedback from our employees on areas we can improve and further communicate on the intranet."

Aggregate is now looking to roll out additional features to their intranet home page, accessible through the built-in widget tool within Intranet Connections, including an injury calendar widget, event calendar feed that shows upcoming corporate activities, and publishing a highly visible document on the home page to better educate about BRAINS, and how content can be submitted and shared, particularly for on-boarding new employees.
