Testimonials

Jim Caldwell, William Channon
I am pleased to confirm that I came about your publication by attending a governors‘ meeting at our local primary school, and have today booked advertising with you on this basis. The support and contact I have received from your office has been excellent, and I eagerly await the results for the coming year. Thank you.

First Aid Company From Greater Manchester
Many thanks for all your help in the past but you are the victim of your own success. I no longer feel the need to place an advert with you as I have just won a very good contract with a large organisation and would find it very difficult to supply first aid training to any one else for at least three years.

I would like to wish your firm well for the future and hope that others will be as happy as I have been with your help.

Tim Townsend, Marketing & Tenders Executive, Andron Contract Services Ltd
Just a quick note to say that we are impressed with the service we are receiving, and the number of opportunities that are coming our way - keeping us very busy!!

Janet Braunston, Bugbrooke Primary School, Northamptonshire
As a busar at Bugbrooke Primary School, in Northamptonshire, I find the ‘Handbook of Procurement’ very useful. We often need access to local businesses to obtain their services and we have found the handbook a quick and easy way to locate necessary products and services, whether locally or from adjoining counties.

Bob Taylor, NANT Ltd
Just like to say since we joined the scemes site for advertising we have been extremely pleased with the response we have received.

Colin Allen, Anglian InterTrading Company
Being only tiny, our investment in launching the safety reflective jacket scheme in the 2007 Eco Guide could not be taken lightly.

But thanks to Becky‘s advice and support, our decision has been fully vindicated by the range of enquiries received from UK schools.

So much so, we are currently revamping our website, have just committed ourselves to the 2007/08 Procurement Supplement and anticipate widening our partnership with Scemes in 2008/09 with a wider range of our cost-effective services.
Best wishes

Linda, Childs Eye Media
We have been delighted with the instant terrific response to our advertisement about our recycling DVD for young children. We have also been very impressed with the helpfulness, professionalism and expertise of the SCEMES team.

With very many thanks

Jim King, Manufacturing Director, Eco Timber Buildings
I am pleased to write and tell you that we are overwhelmed with the response that we have received following the adverts for our Eco Eco‘le Environmental Classroom Range.

So far, in the four days since we received our copy, we have received enquiries from schools totalling over £70,000.

What an excellent publication and medium for suppliers of environmental products to the educational market.

We are so pleased that we wish to reserve the same two page spread in your next Sustainable Procurement publication.

Jim King, Manufacturing Director, Eco Timber Buildings
Further to my letter of 16 May 2007, I am very pleased to write to you again so soon and tell you that we are totally overwhelmed with the response that we have received following the adverts for our Eco Eco‘le Environmental Classroom Range.

So far, in the five weeks since we received our copy, we have received enquiries from schools totalling over £200,000, with one enquiry worth over £40,000.

Your excellent publication has, for us, been the best medium for reaching the educational market. Our only concern is our ability to service the volume of enquiries and interest that this success has generated!

Shirley Nickerson, Queens College Junior School, Taunton
Dear All' I would like to thank all at scemes for the laptop which arrived at the end of last week. It will be put to great use in the learning support department at Queens College. Once again I would also like to thank you for the presentation at the Education Show at the NEC. We will be using scemes whenever possible.

Hi Steve

After speaking with Gwen yesterday regarding our entry with yourselves she asked me to drop you a line to say that, although we have only been with you for a short time, we have had a response from a school totally out of our district who found our details throguh you. We were able to supply the school with weight-lifting leotards for a group of lads who were entered into a competition. At a later date we will also be supplying them with athletic vests for the school team.

I am looking forward to receiving more responses.

"Hi Steve
Thank you so much for this contact - I was certainly getting desperate! What a fantastic service and I shall certainly pass your company details on to other members of my department.
Thanks again
Jennie"

Primary School in Cambridgeshire
"Hi Steve,
Thanks for the details of companies who can supply the sports bibs we need. I will be contacting them all to get quotes for what we need, and I will of course mention SCEMES when I speak to them.
Once again, thanks for your help."

Mrs M Randell, Safetyboss Ltd
"Dear Jenny,
After using the SCEMES directory we are delighted to say that we won a major contract with Schools and Colleges, therefore not only are we happy to renew our annual subscription with you we are also excited to confirm taking part in your new ground breaking products. I am sure that winning business on the internet is only the tip of the iceberg compared to your new products. We would recommend SCEMES to anybody who wishes to do business with Schools, Colleges and Universities as we have found it very successful. Again, thank you for your professionalism in all matters and I will look forward to another prosperous year together."

Christopher Brooks, Barwick Accounting
"Dear Neil,
Thank you for adding my business details to your website so very promptly, I am very impressed with the professionalism you have demonstrated in your dealings with me. When I agreed to my details going on a competitor's directory they took a week to put it on the site, and even then it was wrongly classified so no-one would ever have found my business details."

Stuart Quick, Computer Developments UK
"We were recommended by The Lady Law School from Oxfordshire, a school that we currently supply to. They suggested that if we want to supply to more schools then we should contact SCEMES for more information."

Mike Waters, Safety UK
"Thank you for your extremely prompt action in advertising my company, I am very impressed."

Steve Procter, Vortex Computers
"This is to confirm that Vortex Computers want to be listed on regional ONLY and the CD ROM.
I would like to thank all your staff for their patience and professionalism in dealing with this."

Neil Weston, Slogan T-shirt Company
"Dear Emma,
I promised that I would confirm that we have had enquiries via your schools & colleges website.
I've sent out a couple of brochures and sales information to schools and there is still a chance of some orders coming from them.
You were very professional also during the communications that we had regarding our advertising entry.
I wish you every success in the future with your sales career."

Robert Pickens III, Transatlantic American
"Thanks for taking my call, and for the website address. It looks like SCEMES.COM is developing a comprehensive B2B directory of product and service providers to the education industry. The combination of recruitment, supplies and services all on one site is a strong attraction to professional educators...
Regards,
Robert Pickens III"
