What Our Clients Are Saying

At LANCS ICT, we take immense pride in the service we provide and always strive to deliver the highest level of support. But don’t just take our word for it—here’s what some of our clients have to say about their experience with us.

At Our Lady’s, over the years, ICT  has become integral to our teaching and is a crucial vehicle which we use to make learning accessible to our children. We never underestimate the importance of having both an infra-structure which provides reliability and speed, and resources which are efficient and easily accessible to all staff.

For over 25 years we have worked alongside Nigel Smith who has helped to design, implement and keep our systems within school up to date and working efficiently. He genuinely cares about how our children learn and is continuously problem-solving to ensure the ICT resources in school impact on learning. Nigel has an excellent working knowledge and spends time exploring how the ICT environment within school can be maintained and improved. He is reliable and provides a supportive and innovative service which can be trusted.  As a headteacher, having an ICT technician who I can trust, who provides excellent value for money, and who provides a great sounding board for future developments provides me with a real sense of security, in an area which is constantly changing.

Nigel has become a valued member of our staff team and we wouldn’t be without him.

Bernadette Wood

Head Teacher, St Oswald's Catholic Primary School

LANCS ICT has extensive experience of technical support in educational settings. They therefore understand the needs of schools and are able to use their expertise to ensure that IT systems are effective and efficient to support teachers and office administrators.

Importantly, they are highly skilled in the infrastructure of IT systems, which is crucial to ensure day-to-day as well as longer-term effectiveness.

Our Engineer Nigel keeps up-to-date, and often ahead of, the ever-changing IT landscape, so is able to offer advice and support with the future in mind. He has contacts across the industry, which enable him to access quality hardware at reasonable prices.

Simply put, Nigel is able to make things happen that other engineers can’t! He is more than a visiting tech-support guy, but rather an important part of the whole team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John Riley

Head Teacher, St Chad's Catholic Primary School

LANCS ICT has recently taken over the IT technician SLA at our school. In a short space of time, he has managed to resolve some deep rooted ongoing issues and our system is now running much more efficiently.

LANCS ICT also recently installed a brand new network system throughout school with top of the range Aruba equipment. The installation process was seamless and LANCS ICT was found to be very professional and effective.

We are looking forward to continuing to work with Nigel to manage IT throughout our school and I know that we will be able to achieve success.  They are always willing to listen and remotely deals with day to day issues which make running the school far easier.

Neil Kenyon

Head Teacher, Freckleton CofE Primary School

Before we partnered with Lancs ICT LTD, we had outdated infrastructure and hardware which were not fit for purpose.

 

Lancs ICT LTD quickly audited our needs and prioritised the update of our resources.  Now, less than two years later, our IT provision is effective, efficient and running smoothly.

 

Nigel, our IT engineer, is always on hand to give advice and support whether this is remotely or in person.  I cannot recommend this company enough for schools.

When I joined St Hilda’s as headteacher, I was determined to drive progress and ensure that technology played a key role in enhancing teaching, learning, and overall school efficiency.

Tracey Parker

Head Teacher, St Johns CE Primary School Great Harwood

Being the head of a small semi-rural school, it’s sometimes really difficult to find the right support partner to look after our school’s technology.

As a small school we have smaller budgets than many larger schools within our area. This however does not stop us needing the same professional support and quality of advice for keeping our school up and running smoothly.

It’s also important to us to keep abreast of the latest technology with a realistic and affordable development plan. Not all companies can deliver this level of service but with LANCS ICT I feel very confident that my school is in the best hands.

Head Teacher, St Williams Catholic Primary School

Amanda Clayton

Head Teacher, Singleton CE Primary School

After modernising our Scout Building we were looking to provide a secure WiFi solution to enable the use of the premises to be used by other groups and organisations in today’s world. We wanted it to be managed to ensure it’s always safe to use and functional to our needs.

We contacted LANCS ICT and they provided a free site survey to assess the site and gave us great advice. After we recieved our report and a very competative quotation the installation was organised.

The installation was as promised, very neat and exactly what we were looking for, even though we didnt know what we were looking for!

I would not hesitate to recommend LANCS ICT which  I have already to numerous people.
