What our education clients say

Croft made the possibilities of using Virtual reality in the classroom real! Through their expert knowledge we were able to really imagine how our teaching staff could use new ways of teaching and learning to fully engage learners.

Brent Start

Raymond Logue, MIS and Funding Strategy Manager

The support they provided in rationalising the infrastructure and then, very carefully, relocating to the new office was invaluable. A safe pair of hands both metaphorically and literally!

NEC

Paul Cooper, Head of Technology

The staff were happy using Mitel technology from the outset. The only thing I regret is that we didn’t do it sooner! Mitel and Croft solutions are very responsive, and I would highly recommend them.

Gloucestershire College

Shane Elliot, Network Manager

We noticed a massive change in the level of service that was being provided. It was often challenging to raise a support request, and even when a request was raised, it took an extended period before we would receive a response, let alone a solution. The whole team at Croft have been very helpful and made the transition of our telephone system support very smooth. I would recommend Croft to any other schools and organisations.

The King's (The Cathedral) School

Paul Lennon, ICT Systems Engineer

Excellent company to work with! We have had a wonderful experience with Croft. Any queries we have had have been answered quickly and effectively. We highly recommend Croft and their excellent service!

Holmer Green Junior School
