Education First – Specifier

Overview

Education First is a global teaching and training company. Its mission is to open up the world through education and operates numerous schools and colleges worldwide. 

In response to the need for quality flooring products in their educational facilities, our collaboration with Education First began in 2019. Working closely with the Architecture and Design team, we have completed many successful projects across the UK, USA and Europe.

Challenges Faced

Before partnering with Headlam, Education First faced challenges with contractors purchasing flooring products independently. The lack of direct communication often led to difficulties in tracking specified products, resulting in issues post-installation.

Additionally, not dealing directly with flooring suppliers caused delays in obtaining product information, samples and pricing, occasionally incurring additional costs.

The Headlam Solution

Headlam’s partnership offered Education First direct access to flooring products, eliminating the need for intermediaries.

This resulted in significantly improved response times and accelerated sample delivery. Direct communication with Headlam account managers and site visits from Headlam representatives further enhance collaboration.

The benefits realised

Education First’s collaboration with Headlam has been a positive experience, marked by exceptional service, competitive pricing, robust stock levels and high-quality products. Direct contact with Headlam representatives empowered Education First with greater control over budgets, streamlined product selection and improved tracking of flooring deliveries. The transition from dealing with third-party suppliers to direct collaboration with Headlam proved to be valuable.
