Overview

Introduction

Welcome to the 2026/27 edition of our Further Education Brochure. Education is one of the most powerful forces for creating opportunity. As technology continues to evolve, it is no longer defined by features alone, but by the real impact it has on teaching, learning and college performance. Delivering that impact requires more than great technology; it requires the right expertise, guidance and partnership to turn ambition into achievement.

Delivering that impact requires more than great technology; it requires the right expertise, guidance and partnership to turn ambition into achievement.

For over 35 years, Converge has supported hundreds of colleges across the UK with tailored, end-to-end IT

solutions. Our consultative approach aligns technology with each college’s specific goals, challenges and digital ambitions. Sustainability is central to how we work. From design and deployment to support, refurbishment and recycling, we deliver a circular technology solution from our 100,000 sq. ft. UK headquarters. As the UK’s only IT manufacturer and value-added reseller with a recycling facility, we help colleges extend technology life, reduce environmental impact and get more value from investments. Inside, you’ll see how Converge can help build stronger foundations for teaching, learning and operations, while supporting a more sustainable future for education. Simon Harbridge

Together, let’s accelerate what’s possible.
