What our clients have to say…

“The technology was far and beyond with AWS. It made life a lot easier from a finance perspective. The invoicing was easier and enabled us to deliver the agreement.

The transparency from the start was great, they have always been honest about what they are able to do. The partnership has been invaluable.”

 

Ricky Barton

Head of Finance, Lime Academy Trust

“Working with AWS on a managed service solution for our supply staff has dramatically reduced administration time for processing invoices and checking timesheets.

Using the AWS portal means error rates are practically zero and we estimate that we only spend about 30% of the time processing payments now, as compared to our previous arrangements with multiple suppliers. Costs are lower too.”

Jacqui Jackson

Finance & Business Development Manager, Briarwood School

“The consistency of staff, through the managed service, has really benefitted our Trust.

Candidates supplied through AWS fully understand the policies and procedures, they’ve completed Safeguarding training and they understand what is expected of them. We don’t have to retrain staff every single day because of the consistency.”

Executive Principle, Northern Education Trust
