Thanks guys, that's good feedback! I have just downloaded all of the ones suggested - drupal, expression engine, movable type,... Have to give them all a go and see which one suits our requirements best. I also had a look at Mambo, but at least the admin doesn't seem accessible to me at all, so I have dropped it quickly.
I actually don't mind spending a bit of money if the CMS is worth it. Let's see what comes out of it.
