Nationwide online and on time

David Scholes, The Nationwide chief executive said: "The Nationwide website reflects the full extent and international strength of our Group’s capability."

There are now more than 35 countries serviced by the Group's European Joint Venture Company INPACS GmbH and this coverage together with its membership of the Network Services Corporation in the USA and Rapid Clean in Australia means that Nationwide provide a customer service solution across the globe.

"These powerful relationships," David Scholes added, "are all aimed at improving our competitive edge in product quality, customer service, product value and customer support."

The next feature to be added to the website will be interactive training courses accredited and certificated by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health. The first courses to be offered will be in Health & Safety awareness and will go live by the end of July.
