A NEW group which offers support to out-of-work professionals in Colchester has been helped out by a local website firm.

Colchester Executive Job Club (CEJC) is aimed at out of work people over the age of 40 with mature management skills and experience, or professionals looking to start a fresh career, launch a new venture or re-enter a particular industry.

The free-to-join group benefited from a website built at a reduced rate by Website Design Ltd (WDL), based in the town’s East Street, ahead of its first meeting in the town on October 19.

WDL managing director Elliot Smith said: “Losing your job can happen to any of us at any time so we felt compelled to help with the project for a reduced fee. We’re sure that lots of people in the Colchester area will benefit from the group.”
