Client Testimonials
Adam Burn – IT Services Manager, Northamptonshire Schools
“They fully funded the switch across to our new platform…”
“Techgrants platform helped our business transition from a traditional system to a new cloud platform which was long past due. It automatically highlighted the most suitable vendors based on what we needed, and then fully funded the move across. I would recommend them to anyone looking to change their UC or CX platforms”
Seshu Josyula -Head of Strategy & Architecture, AVEVA
“Absolutely fantastic team and platform”
“I’ve worked with the team at Techgrants while building Unified Comms strategy for AVEVA. They provided valuable insights into UC market and provided accurate recommendations based on the requirements while challenging status quo for a business that was going through significant end-to-end digital transformation. They are very knowledgeable, and we would be glad to work with him again if our paths were to cross again in the future”
Daniel Bridges – IT Director, Attivo
“Greatly reduced our upfront costs and project spend”
“We engaged with Techgrants during our group transformation programme to help us deliver enhanced efficiency though integrated technology. We worked their team who understood our constraints and requirements and delivered a solution that was not only what we needed but incredibly innovative, giving us the feedback to mitigate the problems faced when dealing with the global pandemic.”
Gary Allwood – Group Head of IT, ABP UK
“Worked with our internal teams to quickly identify select vendors”
“ABP UK was looking to replace their existing PBX and telephony solution across the UK, and we engaged Techgrants to help identify suitable solutions. They provided valuable advice throughout the process, explained our options in detail and helped us quickly shortlist a few select vendors, one of which is now our preferred supplier.”
Anthony Milgate – IT Director, The BRIT School
“Allowed us to switch our provider at no upfront cost at all“
“From the first conversation to the point of deciding on a vendor and beyond Techgrants have been a constant and very helpful presence. I would recommend that anyone embarking on a new UCaaS solution or reviewing a current system should work with their excellent team. Their expert advice and friendly approach helped us make the best decision for our organisation and allowed us to change systems at no cost at all.”
Gavin Race – IT Manager, Bursting Box
“Brilliant platform, saved us huge amounts of time and CAPEX”
“Techgrants were a pleasure to deal with and very helpful when it came to choosing the right product. They fully funded the switch across to our new platform and were proactive in their approach checking in with us every step of the way to make sure the implementation went as smooth as possible. I look forward to working with them again”
Edward Clamp – IT Project Management, Hopley Consultancy Ltd

“The relationships they have with the key players enabled us to speak directly to market leaders that could match customer requirements accurately and quickly. They really can make a vast market seem more palatable.”
Dominick Sandford – Managing Director, Ironmongery Direct
“Techgrants have been a pleasure to work with from the start to finish”
“Since we were introduced, they have been very proactive and helpful in communication, reducing costs and guiding us through the process. The grant process was simple and straight forward. Given the opportunity we will use their services again for future projects.”
Jamie Gilson – Managing Director, Adapt365
“Transformation grant funding helped us exit contract”
“Adapt 365 were looking for support with our digital change initiative but were locked in a contract with another provider. After engaging with Techgrants, we were able to sign with our vendor of choice as the transformation grant funding provided went towards early exit fees.”
Ben Crawford – ICT Infrastructure Engineer, Tonbridge School
“Proactive right from the start”
“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the Techgrants team for their efforts in helping us choose the right product. They have been proactive right from the start, introducing us to several high-quality UC providers and being instrumental in providing us with the best possible outcome. I’ll will definitely be working with them in future.”
Commonly asked Questions
How do you make your money?
Our revenue model involves receiving an ongoing payment from the vendor that is selected, for the duration of the contract. The exact payment amount can vary depending on the specifics of each individual contract.
Do we have to sign anything with you?
You do not need to sign any contracts with us. Instead, you will directly contract with your chosen vendor.
What can the funding be used for?
The transformation grant that Techgrants provides can be used for a wide range of purposes. Some of the most common uses include reducing upfront costs, refreshing hardware, covering early exit fees, financing other internal projects, and even donating the funds to a charitable cause. Ultimately, it’s up to each client to determine how they would like to allocate the grant, based on their unique business needs and goals.
Would we get cheaper pricing if we went direct?
The UK channel model is structured to ensure pricing parity across the board. Therefore, pricing for products and services remains consistent, regardless of whether you use Techgrants or not. This means that you can still directly negotiate with your chosen vendor for all costs, without incurring any additional charges from Techgrants.
How much funding will we receive?
Exact funding amounts vary from project to project; however we have a number of funding calculators on our site that will be able to give you approximate amounts based on the various criteria. We will confirm final and exact funding amounts prior to any signature with your chosen vendors.
Where does the funding come from?
To provide funding for our users, we collect and redistribute commissions from within the UK channel market. These available commissions are used to provide a transformation grant that can be utilised in a variety of ways to suit the needs of the user’s business, such as deployment or contract fees, new hardware, other projects, or even as a charitable donation.
Can we just use you for the funding?
Absolutely.
Is this really all free?
Yes, we are completely free to use.
