We own the installation; we will assist by dealing with contractors, vendors and local authorities on your behalf to deliver on time and on budget. Our services include data cabling, projectors, servers, VLE’s, whiteboards, wireless, CCTV, telephone systems as well as curriculum /administration computers and laptops.
No call centres, you will have a dedicated account manager who understands your school and will build a long lasting relationship.
Where possible we try and organise the same technician to visit your school.
Our commitment to low staff turnover and continued staff training ensures continuity.
No Trust?
It’s always hard to know who to trust. Do you put your trust in current support company who say they will get better, or to the new support company who promise the earth? If you have lost trust come and talk to some of our customers, most are new to non LCC support but we also have some that have tried independent support and found it wanting.
Westgate School is one of the largest primary schools in the county. We have been involved in a complete infrastructure refresh and recommending Lenovo X100 Technology that suits the primary school environment. “The children just love using the Lenovo machines…their engagement has increased as a result ...our children now seek out the Lenovo machines and prefer them over the other laptops or PC’s.”
Mr T Culpin - Head Teacher, Westgate School
The (F1Group) technicians have been incredibly helpful; they have arrived and quickly fixed problems that have been a headache for us for ages. “Pupil log in times have been dramatically reduced”. We can now start to rebuild confidence in our ICT again, we are all very happy”.
