Website Revamp

We are currently changing the way the website looks.  In part this is because of problems caused when anyone tries to access the site using Firefox and Internet Explorer 8.  To see what the new version will look like click on the Beyond Lenton page.  The revised pages will be added to the site bit by bit and will take several months to complete.  However it may mean that anyone who has links to a particular page may need to repoint to the revised version.
