St Edwards CofE Academy
Condition Project

I am delighted to be able to provide a reference for PCH Associates. They are always quick and efficient in assessing condition issues and assemble a plan of action that sometimes includes the sourcing of funding to cover the cost of works. Their “can do” attitude, good humour and professionalism is exemplary.

PCH Associates has been instrumental in helping our school to secure Capital Improvement Funding of £2.5m from the DfE. The firm’s planning has been meticulous. Senior staff have been very attentive to our needs and a pleasure to work with.

PCH have proved to be an extremely useful strategic partner for Southend High School for Boys. They have a site masterplan, based on accurate data, which has led to six successful bids in the last three years.

Having worked with PCH Associates on a number of significant projects over the years they have unfailingly provided an efficient and effective service with all parties involved. PCH Associates are at all time proactive, efficient and courteous and above all extremely thorough and practical in their approach.

I am more than happy to provide a reference for PCH Associates and would not hesitate to recommend PCH Associates to other Academies and Trusts.

We have now worked with PCH Associates for four years and each year we have been successful with bids to the CIF fund, amounting to over £1 million over the period. Without the help of PCH I doubt we would have been so successful.

It is with pleasure that I write this recommendation for Mark Hatley and his team at PCH Associates Ltd. At all times, the service we received was performed with professionalism, patience and efficiency. Explanation and advice was provided when it was required and written reports were prepared to tight deadlines when necessary.
