Our mission is to put money back into children’s education by providing expert, honest advice tailored to your school.
We are Specialist Independent Telecom and IT Advisors to
the Education Sector, helping schools save money and improve their Telecoms and
IT provision.
We have a different and unique approach to helping
schools, as we do not sell any telecoms or IT products or services. Instead we
work purely on the school’s behalf in an advisory capacity ensuring you are not
overcharged and that the correct products and services are procured from
reputable suppliers at the best possible prices.

TGE Solutions have been excellent in working with The Bishop Wheeler Catholic Academy Trust to help procure a new Broadband & Telephony package for our Schools. Phil and his team worked incredibly hard in the initial audit stage to ensure we had a thorough understanding of our estate, before discussing our procurement options with regards to the named services. We are still in contact with Phil, as his aftercare is impeccable, and we would not hesitate using TGE solutions for any future requirements.

Professional team who listen to the customer’s needs and provide all the tools necessary to make changing contract a smooth process. Thank you for a smooth transition

We used TGE to help us with our broadband procurement. The groundwork that Daria and Phil did to identify the providers helped us identify the right mix of services and costs to make a really informed choice which, on reflection, has saved the school money and appears to have partnered us with a very good provider. The process was so beneficial to our decision-making and helped us justify our preferences to our governors with useful evidence.

Phil was great in the initial meetings, the knowledge TGE can offer in looking for a supplier is excellent and made what I thought was going to be a very stressful process run so smoothly for us.
The support from Phil and Daria has been fantastic and I would recommend them to any schools or businesses. Great service, thank you.

We saved a lot of time and money overall as TGE did everything we needed them to do to procure a suitable telephone system for our school. I had no idea where to start or what I was looking for until I spoke to Phil and the team. Also, they produced a fantastic document which was simple to understand and one which the Governors where happy to look over. I have recommended TGE Solutions to the School Business Managers in our local Forum whenever anyone speaks about telephone changes as it has saved a lot of stress and confusion for myself.

Abigayle WinterbottomSchool Business Manager
Phil and Daria are so helpful and knowledgeable. They fully explain technical terminology in a way that the layperson can understand, and really understand what the requirements are within a school setting. From start to finish, the procurement process has been highly professional, and we are very pleased with the system we have purchased. Thanks so much (again) for all your help and advice.

Phil and Daria at TGE are beyond helpful. They made the whole process of switching phone providers an absolute breeze. They’re always available for any questions and are so knowledgeable in advising on the best way forward for the school.

Sarah GinnSchool Business Manager
St. Bart’s Academy Trust requested the support of TGE Solutions to source a broadband tender for our Multi Academy Trust of 19 Academies. Phillip was a wealth of information and the process from start to finish was seamless. Phillip’s knowledge and experience were an asset to us and The Trust would have no hesitation in recommending TGE Solutions.

TGE Solutions were extremely helpful and clear in guiding us through the terminology and quotes to help us decide on the best option to take when purchasing a new telephone system.

From start to finish Phil and Daria have been a pleasure to deal with. A new phone system has been on my to-do list for a couple of years, TGE took all the time consuming aspects of the project away and gave me complete confidence I was making a great choice.
Clarendon Primary School
Pamela CumminsSchool Business Manager
Excellent service, prompt, reliable and informative. Useful advice given and new system sorted within a couple of weeks, something I just didn’t have the time or expertise to do myself. Would highly recommend!
Broad Oak Primary School
Michelle BoyleSchool Business Manager
TGE Solutions just took the stress of the tendering process out of our hands. Documentation and communication was clear and concise and made the whole process much easier and smoother than trying to do it ourselves without TGE’s specialist knowledge in the phone system market.
Champion Education Trust
Paul GreenhalghIT Manager
The procurement of the telephone system by TGE Solutions was clear and straight forward. Their expertise in this field was second to none and we felt very comfortable following their advice. They listened to our needs at the beginning of the project and guided us through the process with ease. We are very happy with our new provider.
Sitwell Infant School, Rotherham
Debra DarkinSchool Business Manager
Phil is very knowledgeable and it’s good to have his insight in terms of who has a good reputation etc (they can all do the sales talk, which makes it hard when you don’t know the companies offering their services). It was also good to have his input re what equipment is likely to stay in the market for future proofing our system.
Boothroyd Primary Academy, Dewsbury
Lisa LynchSchool Business Manager
The market of telecoms is a vast and complex market, which I tried to familiarise myself with before commissioning TGE to oversee the process. This took all of the worries out of the process as I felt I was out of my depth with the varying and sometimes misguided information I had received from Telecoms Companies. TGE removed the complexity of delving into a changing Telecoms market by ensuring that the schools needs were met and filtering out companies trying to oversell products that were not suitable for schools use.
St Joseph’s Primary School, Anderton
Angela MacLeodSchool Business Manager
I first met Phil at a LASBM (Lancashire Association of School Business Managers) Conference, he told me how his company could help me save money on our current phone system and get the right technology for the future. Phil and Daria have guided me through the process of changing our phone system and have been extremely helpful. Thank you.

I have used the services of TGE Solutions three times in recent years, most recently to procure a new whole school telephone system. I would not hesitate in recommending their services to other schools, their expertise and knowledge is invaluable, and saved us a lot of time and money.
