Read what our clients think

Congerstone Primary School have been using GTS for unlocking and locking our school for over 12 months. During this time, GTS have proved to be reliable, which has reduced a worry from my headteacher job list. They have also been flexible with school events requiring a change in locking up time. When work is being carried out in the school holidays and the premises officer is unavailable, GTS have been there to help out. We are pleased with the service they provide and I would certainly recommend GTS to other schools.

Alison – Headteacher

We have been working with GTS for several years. Gary & Tom are very approachable and worked with us to provide a service that fits both our school budget and needs. The service provided is professional, cost effective, flexible and efficient. We would highly recommend.
