Crysp Selected by 5 Multi Academy Trusts, cementing its position as a leader in school estate & compliance solutions
April 9, 2024 - Crysp, a trusted provider of estate and compliance solutions, is proud to announce its recent partnership with five Multi Academy Trusts (MATs), marking a significant milestone in its commitment to ensuring safer school environments across the nation.
The MATs joining Crysp's roster include Leeds Diocese Trust, Consilium Trust, Together Learning Trust, and Two Counties Trust. Additionally, a fifth MAT customer is set to be officially announced in May, further reinforcing Crysp's position as a preferred choice among schools across the country.
Crysp will extend its suite of auditing capabilities to these trusts, offering services such as health and safety assessments, fire risk auditing, and competent person support. Moreover, Crysp's market-leading cloud compliance platform will empower schools within these trusts to effectively manage policies, governance, estate management, health and safety, and property compliance on a trust-wide scale.
Chloe Rhodes, National Head of Compliance at Crysp, comments, "I am delighted to welcome the new trusts into Crysp, where we can provide them with the level of service that they want and need. All of the MATs that have signed up to use us have chosen Crysp based on our credentials, strength of market offer, but critically, the testimonials of leaders in schools who have used us now for a number of years and really back us to deliver on their auditing support."
Sian Purver, National Business & Operations Manager said "Crysp's digital compliance platform stands as the bedrock supporting multi academy trusts in their crucial responsibility to oversee their school's health & safety and compliance. We give the trusts the tools and insights to navigate regulatory compliance with our simple and effective portal. We empower the teams to cultivate environments where the well-being of students and staff is paramount, and continue to nurture and support the teams within the Trusts collaboratively throughout the year. Our partnerships with our Trusts ensures that each school can uphold a gold standard of safety and compliance."
Co-Director Pete Mills added, "This is what Crysp was set up for - to deliver high-value compliance services and solutions at a fair price in the education sector. When we set Crysp up with the backing of our investor Twinkl, one of the key objectives was to break up the hold that some of our competitors feel they have over school leaders. This year has been such a strong start for us; effectively, we have doubled the number of schools we support with both our service and estates management solution. We are really shaking things up with our offer, and I know there are so many things we will go on to support our school customers this year and beyond."
Launch of Customer Advisory Board for Educators
In May, Crysp will officially launch its customer advisory board for school leaders, chaired by Peter Knight, COO of Trinity MAT with participation from a number of leading Trusts from across the country.
"We have been nurturing this concept for a while, which is to launch our own customer advisory board specifically focused on our work in the education sector," explained Knight. "We get so much insight and feedback, and we would like to channel that into a CAB structure so we can really create a roadmap that works for schools."
The purpose of the board is to focus on supporting professionals within the education sector responsible for property/good estate management and health and safety. Crysp aims to continue developing product and service solutions that create significant value for end-users while establishing its position as the "go-to" mission-led supplier. Additionally, Crysp will explore areas including data integration tools, ICT audits, complaints management, and policy management, seeking valuable insight and feedback from board members.
