New Website
December 14, 2011The new CREDIT website – where you are now – is online. It’s still in beta; expect some changes over the coming weeks. Our news items are a little inconsistent, for example, with stories from 2008 jumping to a selection of updates from this year. We’ve a lot more to add: we haven’t said all that much about our facilities, capabilities, committee work or industrial projects yet. It’ll grow. Stay in touch.
