You have the option to own a high-quality eco-friendly teaching space for the long-term, for a comparable cost of renting or hiring costly traditional temporary mobile or modular buildings as a stop-gap short-term emergency solution. To facilitate this option we work with reputed private finance companies that supply finance schemes to the public sector. Find out more »
