Baxi Group companies support school business and enterprise centre
A Birmingham School has teamed up with Andrews Water Heaters and Potterton Commercial to develop a business and enterprise centre for the school. Great Barr School has over 2400 students, and the centre will centre will be available for use by all students and local businesses which might require an off-site venue.
The refurbishment of rooms to create the centre has involved significant investment by the school, with individual classrooms being sponsored and branded by companies. This branding will bring the world of work into the classroom, aiming to develop students’ enterprise skills in readiness for the future entry into the world of work.
Stephen Shipton, work-related learning manager at the school, says, ‘The support we have received from Baxi Commercial Division has been fantastic. This has made it easier to attract other classroom sponsors to the business and enterprise centre.’
