t’s that time of the year when schools are taking stock and reviewing their suppliers, whether they’re planning refurbishments over the summer holidays or seeking new suppliers in readiness for the start of term in September. It goes without saying that this can be a daunting task. Of course, there are plenty of options out there, but the importance of finding a good, reliable supplier should never be underestimated. It can be difficult for schools to know who to approach - and that’s where this feature comes in. Throughout the following pages you’ll find some of the education sector’s noteworthy suppliers, endorsed by Education Today on account of their commitment to quality, service and consistency.

It specialises in delivering flexible storage, charging, and loaning solutions to support digital learning and enable schools to keep their operations running seamlessly.
Lighting the way
As schools face budget restrictions, saving money through energy efficient lighting is more crucial than ever. But the right lighting does more than save money for schools; it also influences how students feel and perform. Lighting can have a huge impact on the learning environment, affecting students’ focus, energy levels and ability to retain information. B.E.G. has worked with schools to manufacture lighting control solutions for more than 40 years. The expert in ‘human-centric lighting’ delivers solutions which adapt to the natural circadian rhythm, while at the same time prioritising energy efficiency.
Printing with purpose
While digital tools are central to modern education, printed materials still play an important role in lesson delivery and student engagement. Schools need printing solutions that are cost-effective, eco-friendly, and reliable. Known for its energy-efficient, low-cost, fast colour printing, RISO helps schools reduce costs while boosting productivity.
