Innovate with our customers
- An opportunity
UK schools are turning into academies and joining multi-academy trusts (MATs). MATs are increasingly buying products and services centrally for all their schools. - Our approach
We provide improved quality of service and savings to MATs when they buy our fully outsourced IT service across their estate - Evidence of progress
In 2019 we signed a contract with the largest MAT to provide a full IT managed service to all their schools. This service includes moving their ICT delivery in their schools to the cloud.

Efficiency and simplicity
- An opportunity
Our resources division has five separate distribution centres that service our customers in the UK and internationally. This footprint of warehouses is costly and inefficient. - Our approach
We are running a programme to consolidate our distribution centres into a single, automated facility leading to significant cost savings and an improved service to our customers. - Evidence of progress
In 2019 we completed some major milestones on this programme including gaining planning permission for the new site and signing the lease with the developer.
