“QEGS has worked in partnership with Lea Hough for over 4 years. During this time, we have had 7 successful bids and received over £2.5m from the DfE’s CIF. Each project has been effectively managed by Paul & Graham at Lea Hough.”

“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lea Hough & Co to work on behalf of your School or Academy to build, manage and submit CIF projects. I have worked closely with Lea Hough & Co for a few years now putting bids together for our five Academies and they have been successful on many occasions enabling us to have large building projects carried out on all of our trust sites.”

“I first worked with Lea Hough whilst at QEGS in Blackburn, where CIF capital grants were awarded for duplicate projects over successive years. The process was managed in its entirety by Lea Hough in a competent and efficient manner, thereby largely removing all onus from management. Now at Rochdale Sixth Form College and with a significant building project planned for the summer, I had no hesitation in appointing Lea Hough to draw up the specification, arrange the tender process and liaise with the contractors. Despite an extremely tight programme, the project was completed on schedule and within budget.”

“We have worked with Lea Hough for the last 3 years to deliver and project manage a number of successful CIF funded projects.  We are delighted with the efficient and smooth service they provide and hope to continue to work with them in the future.”

“I can with great confidence recommend Lea Hough to other schools, academies and MAT’s. Lea Hough successfully applied for 4 CIF projects at our two schools (Tarleton & Burscough Academies) in 2018 within out MAT and managed these projects to completion with great professionalism. We have utilised their services for the past 5 years at our host academy and they have successfully delivered on 7 CIF projects, Salix loans and have also supported other school based projects. We will continue to work with Lea Hough in the future.”

“I would recommend Lea Hough without hesitation. I can safely say that they have been excellent at both the bid stage and during the project management phase. The school are kept well informed throughout the process.”

“I would, without reservation, recommend Lea Hough to any other school and academy. In the past 2 years, working with Lea Hough we have secured 3 successful CIF bid applications for replacement doors and window, roof replacement and a replacement of the fire and security systems. They are thoroughly professional in all their interactions and they make every step of the process, from bid application to project completion, an easy one, which as a small school is of great benefit to us. I will be continuing to us the company to secure future bids.”

“I have read your report again and I appreciate the level of detail and the effort you have gone to in surveying the property – thank you. You’re looking at properties every day and you know what you’re looking for – so you’ve seen things that I would never have spotted. You have opened my eyes on numerous defects on this property and am seriously thinking about leaving the idea of buying. The report was money wells spent!”
