Who we are
Sync supports organisations across the UK, aiding in the adoption, deployment, and ongoing use of Apple technology. This includes the provision of hardware, software, and finance solutions, as well as installations, training, technical support, repairs, and more.
We are proud to be in a position where our experts can blend the strong organisational knowledge developed over three decades with the new skills and strategic employee acquisitions of recent years, as well as offering a range of online services and technical support.
While the technology and deployment practices have changed since we first opened our doors, our overall approach remains unaltered: to deliver customer centric solutions via a consultancy led approach, in order to progress and support UK schools and businesses.
Sync is the culmination of all of our efforts over the years, and we are proud to have partnership status with tech giants such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Adobe to offer organisations the best possible and most up-to-date tech experience.

We always begin by looking at the vision and direction for learning at each school as this provides a framework for measurement of success. We examine your units of work and integrate technology into your teachers’ lessons with a clear goal of enhancing teaching. We will then run lessons with students under the observation of teachers to demonstrate the principals behind it.

How we help
At Sync, our partnership with School Trusts goes beyond providing services – it's about a genuine commitment to advancing education. We believe in sharing knowledge and empowering educational leaders, exemplified through our insightful blogs and webinars aimed at enhancing their expertise. We recently launched the empowerED Podcast to spotlight some of the inspirational schools, colleges, and partners we work with drive growth and development with technology.
Our organisational culture is centred around customer and service user support with a clear commitment to putting their needs at the forefront of our work. We take pride in our services, meticulously designed in response to specific sector needs, ensuring we address the unique challenges faced by our partners.
Through these initiatives, Sync demonstrates a holistic dedication to not only supporting School Trusts directly, but also contributing meaningfully to the broader educational sector.
At Sync, our commitment to our customers is the driving force behind everything we do. We recognise and celebrate their successes as a testament to the impact of our collaboration. A testament to this commitment can be found on our case studies page, where we showcase inspiring stories from Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) such as Oasis Community Learning and the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership. These case studies not only highlight the transformative power of our solutions but also serve as a platform to share valuable insights and best practices within the education community. By putting our customers at the heart of our narrative, we aim to foster a culture of mutual success and continuous improvement in the educational landscape.
