WORCESTERSHIRE EDUCATION NETWORK MERGES WITH STERLING NETWORKS

Sterling Networks have announced they have taken over the Worcestershire Education Network, which supports schools, colleges and universities across the County with a trusted range of businesses working with the educational sector.

The Worcestershire Education Network (WEN) was founded in 2015 as a group of local businesses with national reach, having key aims of providing a trusted network of educators, suppliers, and manufacturers who specialise in delivering high quality and bespoke solutions. They pride themselves in providing a local trusted personal service, where members sign up to a Code of Conduct, and always pursue best practice.
