What does a school typically order?
Schools order in three areas: the canteen and breakfast or after-school clubs, events such as bake sales and sports days, and the washrooms and cleaning cupboard. Orders are regular and predictable, so the best approach is a standing list that is reordered each term. If you buy in volume, open a trade account or ask us for a bulk price.
