Further Education Sector

We have seen material cuts to government funding, Area Reviews, mergers and takeovers, the introduction and withdrawal of restructuring facilities and even the introduction of a new act of parliament to manage college insolvency. Above all, colleges and the Government remain committed to supporting learners, but we are likely to see more change before the sector stabilises.

Many colleges are now looking to future proof their estate, investigating options to not only improve the environment for learners, but to use their assets to fill the financial gaps created. Estate strategies, mergers, consolidation, investment and disposals are key to ensuring a future-proofed estate.
