“The project is still in the early stage of strategy and design, but in CHG-MERIDIAN we found the right answer in terms of flexibility and enthusiasm. We were very impressed by the initial consulting phase, their market expertise and by how they listened to our needs in terms of contractual options, multi-invoicing and asset management by location and by cost centre. Such a solution allows us to maintain control over our IT budget, the equipment we use in addition to allowing us to optimise our internal management and save time – all from a single partner.”

“We are really satisfied with the result of the output printing project – especially in terms of savings and flexibility. In fact, we have achieved savings of 20% in the consumables component alone. CHG-MERIDIAN was able to provide us with a truly flexible service, with no up-front payment flows and strong customer protection in the event of a disruption. These benefits are reinforced by CHG’s supplier guarantee and above all, the presence of a single contact person, which provides us with a partner who really listens to our input when it comes to solutions designed on the basis of our actual needs and company profile.”

“We were blown away by the speed of their response and the generosity of their donation of the tablet devices for the people we support. I cannot understate the difference that they will make from those who will benefit from them. The changes to all our lives that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic have been challenging for all of us, and even more so for some of the people we support who may be less able to understand why family and friends can no longer visit. Being able to stay in touch with loved ones using these tablets will make a real difference and help significantly lessen the impact of an upsetting change in routine.”

Sue Porto, Chief Executive, Brandon Trust

"We needed to introduce a programme of upgrading our IT estate and leasing through CHG-MERIDIAN enabled us to achieve this over a number of years. By leasing the equipment, we were able to spread the cost over 3 years which meant we were able to buy more equipment than if we had to pay for it all up-front. Leasing also enabled us to put in a 3-year replacement programme and budgeting for equipment refreshes became much easier. The team at CHG have always provided an excellent service from obtaining initial quotes right through to collecting equipment at the end of the lease.”

“For us, our IT provision is a large and continually rolling project; we constantly need to review the products, suppliers and replacement cycles of every piece of equipment. We source equipment through tendering and we market test for our provision of finance. For almost a decade we have developed our relationship with CHG and they have become our primary finance provider. We need to make the right financial decisions, and when you are in an established relationship you can hold sensible discussions and obtain the flexibility we feel is important to us. In our dealings with CHG, we have never been stung by a cost at the end of the term, despite the heavy use of our equipment. We are very busy with contracts around May/June time. CHG recognise and respond to the extra attention the College needs during this period. You don’t always get that with a service relationship!”

“We were looking for a way of introducing iPad technology into the school. Our goal was to put our students at the forefront of the digital revolution: engaging, challenging and motivating them to explore new ways of learning both in and out of the classroom. Of course, finance and cash flow is always an issue for us being a school relying on Government funding, so we needed to explore different avenues of finance. CHG helped us unlock the various leasing options available to schools and provided us with assistance at every stage of the process. Through this leasing option, they have helped us roll out this iPad program throughout the whole school and we look forward to working with them on new projects in the future.”

"All equipment ordered through the leasing scheme is logged and monitored using the TESMA® asset tracking system. This enables us to have instant access to a comprehensive database of assets procured via leasing and can be broken down on a school by school basis. In addition, we use the reporting tool to manage cross-charging of assets across multiple schools under the Council’s control. With all data entered into the system by CHG-MERIDIAN, the council get maximum benefit from the system without the need to input additional information."

“CHG-MERIDIAN provided us with a straightforward agreement that allowed us to keep our technology up-to-date and also allowed us to have a full rolling replacement, which was more cost effective in the long run. Furthermore, this also gave us the power over the manufacturer to negotiate the best possible price on both the service element and also the capital cost. Lastly CHG’s asset management, TESMA® has provided us with complete transparency over the solution in addition to the bonus of VAT savings!”

“The machinery would usually cost in excess of £2 million and would have taken several years to raise the funds. It is exceedingly good news for future patients who will benefit from minimally invasive surgery with less pain and quicker recovery times. As of now, the robot has been in use for nearly 6 months and a substantial number of patients have seen the benefits of it. CHG-MERIDIAN’s help has been greatly appreciated and we could not have achieved the success that we have without their assistance”

I just want to say a huge thanks to everyone who has helped with this project. This is a massive development for the surgeons, the hospital & the patients. I know how much effort everyone has made & I cannot believe the speed things have happened. It just shows what can be done when the right people are determined to achieve something."
