As part of our positive impact values we will be operating a “send and mend” service for local infant schools.

Using our hands-on skills, we will fix broken equipment helping schools avoid unnecessary expenditure whilst prolonging the life span of the equipment.

This is the first of a number of positive impact initiatives we plan to offer. Our clients will play a big part in enabling us to do this.
