    The new Kensington360 Website…

    This month we launched our brand new website. 🌐

    After months of planning and development, the new Kensington360 site is officially live. The goal was simple. Create a space that makes it easier to explore our sectors, discover opportunities and access the latest industry insight.

    The new site brings together everything in one place, including dedicated sector pages across Additive Manufacturing, Metrology, Aerospace & Defence, Advanced Materials, Engineering, Robotics & AI, Machine Tools and MedTech.

    You will also find a much more streamlined jobs search, a refreshed About Us page and a new Content Hub featuring industry updates, hiring insight and case studies.

    If you have not had a chance to explore yet, you can take a look here:

    We have also created a full website guide on our YouTube channel that walks through the new navigation and key sections of the site, just in case you want a quick tour. Not that you will need it of course.

    Kensington360 Q1 High Flyers Outing

    This month we also celebrated our Quarter 1 High Flyers, bringing the team together for a well deserved evening out in Manchester.

    To mark the occasion, our High Flyers headed to The Cut & Craft for a fantastic meal before continuing the celebrations at NQ64, where the competitive spirit definitely came out on the arcade games. Safe to say there were plenty of laughs along the way.

    It was a great way to recognise the hard work and results delivered across the first quarter, and to spend some time together outside the office.

    You can check out a few photos from the evening above.

    A big shoutout to our Q1 High Flyers 👏 See the full post here
