Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK
Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK
Toyota Motor Manufacturing (UK) runs two plants — vehicle manufacturing at Burnaston in Derbyshire and engine manufacturing at Deeside in North Wales — employing around 3,000 people and building cars sold around the world. Haywyre has been their web development partner since 2001.
What's live today
Four separate properties, each with its own audience, all built and looked after by us:
toyotauk.com — the corporate site
The public face of Toyota's UK manufacturing: the plants, how they manufacture, community and education programmes, the Charitable Trust and the environment work. Toyota staff manage the content themselves through the content management system we built for the 2019 redesign, and the Public Visit system lets members of the public book a factory visit online while the corporate team approves applications and notifies visitors from the same place.
recruitment.toyotauk.com — the recruitment portal
Where Toyota's UK recruitment happens. Candidates register, search current vacancies, set up job alerts and apply for apprenticeships, graduate schemes, industrial placements and production and maintenance roles. Toyota's recruitment team adds and edits vacancies directly. In 2019 we added an iPad app for job fairs, so the team could capture applicant details on the day and bring them straight into the recruitment system rather than back-filling from paper.
iris.toyotauk.com — internal admin
An internal admin system for Toyota teams, maintained as part of the ongoing relationship.
tlmc.toyotauk.com — Toyota Lean Management Centre
The site for Toyota's lean management training academy, which teaches the Toyota Production System to organisations across manufacturing, retail, education and the charity sector.
How we work with Toyota
Several departments, one partner. Rather than a project that ends, this is a relationship where we evaluate, redesign and extend as Toyota's needs change — a new content component for community photography one month, a recruitment feature the next — with hosting, security and maintenance handled as a matter of course. Twenty-five years in, the sites are still ours to look after.
