How we are set up

Close for support, national for build

For managed services we work to a southern-England regional focus, so the engineers who support your school are close enough to know it and to be on site when it matters. For Capital Programmes we deliver nationally, wherever a DfE-funded scheme is being built, because that work is project-based and programme-led.

That split is deliberate. Day-to-day support benefits from local accountability and named people; capital delivery benefits from a national team that moves to the scheme.

Education only

Focused, not spread thin

Over 500 spending customers, all in education. We do not split our attention across unrelated sectors, so our experience compounds in the setting you work in.

Financial stability

Stable enough to commit to

We hold strong working capital and carry no outstanding debt. That is not a vanity metric. It lets us commit to multi-year managed services contracts, carry the working-capital impact of Hardware as a Service across an estate, and deliver long capital programmes without financial risk to the customer.

  • Strong working capital, no outstanding debt
  • Capacity to fund estate-wide Hardware as a Service
  • The resilience to deliver multi-year contracts and long programmes
One group

Breadth behind the brand

Medhurst Communications, Hugh Symons Audio Visual, Drift IT Services, and EdEquity AI sit under one group, so managed IT, specialist AV, and our investment in education data and AI come from one relationship. See Group Structure.
