Hilden Grange Preparatory School acquire lockers with the help of Utility Rentals

At Utility Rentals, we regularly speak to schools that are looking to provide lockers for their students, but often find that they simply haven’t got the funding to acquire the quantities they really need – if any at all! Often they believe the only way to upgrade the tired lockers in their school, is to break the project up in to stages, often focusing on only one or two year groups each year. That’s before they realise they can rent those lockers rather than purchase them.

With the help of Utility Rentals, schools across the UK, like Hilden Grange Preparatory School, are able to obtain as many lockers as they need, without having to compromise on project size or specification – meaning entire schools can benefit from brand new lockers all at once, whilst breaking the project cost up in to affordable rentals.

Hilden Grange Preparatory School is a co-educational preparatory day school. Their ‘aim is to provide a friendly, secure and stimulating environment where children enjoy learning.’ When it came to providing new lockers for their students, Lisa Beal, Head of Science considered purchasing them outright, but realised that this was an expensive option and so instead contacted Utility Rentals.

Lisa said, “I came across Utility Rentals on the internet when searching for school locker providers and was very impressed by their offering. They listened to our requirements before providing options which perfectly suited our needs. Not only was the product great, but renting was a great way of spreading and managing the cost.”

Utility Rentals’ affordable rental contracts have been designed with schools in mind and enable them to spread the cost of equipment over its useful life. The rental payments are very simple; the first payment is invoiced upfront, with all subsequent rentals being invoiced on the same date each year. Plus, payments are fixed for the duration of the rental.

Delivery of the equipment is included as part of the rental and can be arranged to coincide with the school day or to take place during holiday periods if preferred and the team at Utility Rentals will be in touch throughout this process to ensure all runs smoothly.

However, their service and commitment doesn’t stop there, as Utility Rentals are always available to assist schools during their rental and to provide any support required. Utility Rentals are more than happy to assist with bespoke projects if required, but also have a fantastic array of options from their standard ranges available too. With numerous sizes, colours, locks and accessories, Utility Rentals have the perfect storage solution for any school, college or university.

When asked about her recent acquisition of lockers Lisa said, “I would definitely recommend Utility Rentals to other schools. Their level of service was excellent! It was straight forward, efficient and we are extremely pleased.”
