Simply Techspace - Simply Workspace
Best practice, best value and all the support the education sector needs
When time, costs and resources need to be used – and sometimes reused – carefully, a partner that is committed to guiding clients towards the best possible outcome is a valuable asset to have. Simply Workspace and Simply Techspace – two divisions of
a business that provides a single point of contact for offi ce and workplace furniture and interiors, and the IT infrastructure they need to keep working effi ciently – count a large number of schools, academy trusts and colleges among their clients. Part of the company’s commitment to the education sector has
seen it achieve Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation, and it is working towards ISO certifi cation in order to ensure it can continue to build lasting, long-term relationships. Collaboration was the driving factor behind furniture specialist
Jon Bautista and IT expert Matt Dann teaming up to create Simply Workspace and Simply Techspace. T e venture brings together not only the two vastly experienced former colleagues, but also specialisms across all sectors to ensure the best possible service for customers. Matt said: “We work with large and small companies across the
UK in all kinds of sectors but our work within education is probably growing fastest, particularly locally. I would estimate that around 30 to 40% of Simply Workspace’s revenue is from education clients; slightly less for Simply Techspace, but growing all the time.
“From the beginning, we were keen to focus on repurposing
and refurbishment in both furniture and IT equipment, and that’s a valuable proposition for schools. We off er, for instance, one-to- one schemes, where parents can purchase a laptop through their children’s school, by providing the school with the equipment and a fi nance package that means they can pass on savings and payment plans to the families. “Good quality, refurbished devices that parents can trust – and
that the school can trust to be safe, secure and reliable – can make all the diff erence. And it is an added factor for schools that take a keen interest in their environmental credentials as well.” Simply Techspace, is a full-service IT business, providing
hardware, software, cabling, telecommunications, IT support and cyber security. Meanwhile, Simply Workspace delivers a wide range of commercial furniture from chairs and desks to storage systems, partitioning and fl ooring. Part of the Simply Workspace team’s expertise is reconfi guring
existing spaces to create more room or make them more effi cient – something that is often very much in need as school years change and class sizes vary. Jon Bautista said: “We work with a lot of schools locally that don’t
have a great deal of money to spend. If we can help them carry out a refurbishment, it can make all the diff erence to them fi nancially. T ey are often up against tight budgets but that doesn’t mean they can get by without the furniture and space they need. A careful redesign and repurposed furniture can often be the solution.”
