Academy Conversions

 

Our team includes professionals who all sit on Trust Boards and governing bodies. It means that we look at things differently. We see conversion from the perspective of the school, not just from a business point of view.

Now that the Academy Conversion Grant has been discontinued, it is more important than ever to seek quality advice and support at a cost-effective price. The key motivation when J & G Marshall was established was finding a way carry out conversions more effectively and efficiently so that more of the school’s monies could be directed to the classroom where possible. Our fixed price conversion package has always given peace of mind to a school and Trust that no nasty surprises crop up financially down the line.

Our single fee structure ensures that conversion grants can support education outcomes, rather than being swallowed up by legal fees and administration.

I have had the pleasure to work with Jeff and his colleagues for the last two years, on our academy journey. The professional service, advice, knowledge and support has been first class, simply outstanding! Jeff was recommended by a colleague and from the first point of contact he has been reliable, warm, reassuring and very approachable-always at the end of an email, a phone call or a text (even late in the evening or at weekends). The time and commitment that Jeff has given over these two years has been phenomenal, definitely going ‘above and beyond’. He has attended numerous meetings, provided all kinds of documentation and personally provided advice, guidance and council. He has linked us in with other Trusts and introduced us to numerous people who can support us in our new Trust moving forwards. I cannot recommend Jeff’s company enough and I will certainly be looking to work with him more in the very near future -with his CEO course, and work around governance and trust growth. A huge thank you to Jeff and his team-you have been AMAZING!

“Although we’d done a fair amount of research beforehand and thought we knew what to expect, our conversion process would have been a challenge without the attention and expertise of J&G Marshall Ltd. Marshalls did what they said they’d do - and they did it on budget!”
