Progress and Improvement at Matravers School

We are pleased to announce a new partnership with Matravers School in Westbury, Wiltshire. Senior sales executive Dermot Murphy won the contract to supply new copying printing and scanning equipment against the likes of Ricoh and Xerox. Dermot commented “I believe our success was due in part to the fact that we were able to provide a tailor made service and support contract to meet the school’s specific requirements, which includes a bi-weekly ‘health check’ of all the equipment. This effectively catches any technical problems before they happen.”

In addition to technical improvements, Matravers School had 39% of it’s students achieve five or more GCSEs, including maths and English at grades A* - C. Forty eight percent of pupils achieved grades A* - C in all subjects. Headteacher Chris Dark said that despite being very pleased with the results, the school is aiming even higher with an improvement target of fifty percent within the next two years. We wish him every success in the future.

In fact, such is their depth of experience, more than just running administration on a daily basis, they have also been set the task of improving customer support further by sourcing and implementing new service support software.
