How it works
From a single school to a whole trust
Individual schools
A single academy or maintained school needs devices that just work — toner arrives, engineers turn up, and the office keeps running. We provide public-sector pricing and fast local response from Wolverhampton.
Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs)
Trust central teams consolidate procurement — one contract, standardised devices, central billing and reporting. We act as the central provider: fleet rollout, PaperCut or Toshiba cloud management, and account management across all sites.
School Business Managers
SBMs own budgets, compliance and supplier relationships. We speak your language — CPC frameworks, GDPR, secure print, carbon reporting — and we don't waste your time with national call centres.
Why schools choose us
Service standards built for term time
4-hour on-site call-outs
Rapid engineer response during the school day — reducing downtime when printing matters most.

90%+ first-visit fix rate

Transparent, cost-effective pricing
Clear CPC and managed print pricing with no hidden fees — easier budgeting for SBMs and trust central teams.

Toshiba Carbon Zero Scheme, toner recycling and print tracking to support your environmental commitments.
Preventative maintenance
Regular servicing and tests to catch issues before they disrupt teaching and exams.
