The education sector is one which has seen a great deal of change over the past few years. As well as the main job of teaching young people, schools are juggling an ever increasing list of additional tasks.

Schools and colleges these days are themselves responsible for the upkeep and improvement of their buildings. Furthermore, they must also be using their facilities to generate income. Any funds they do gain this way supplement the budgets provided by the government. Since education funding has been under pressure in recent times, a well-managed lettings program can give a welcome boost to school coffers.

How can Munday + Cramer help?

  • 5 year plans (best practice is to have a working copy of this at all times)
  • Asset management plans
