A Trusted Partner Across Three Countries

For well over a decade, from Saudi Arabia to the founding of new schools in Indonesia and Egypt, CES Holdings has been my trusted partner for every educational resource imported from the United Kingdom. Their range is exceptional and their service consistently excellent, but what sets them apart is their flexibility and the depth of their international knowledge and experience. Whatever the challenge, and international logistics present many, their response is always constructive and solutions are always found. When opening a new school, that matters greatly. I would not entrust this work to anyone else.

We have found CES (and now Findel) to be a fantastic partner. We have worked with them over the past 5 years with Riyadh Schools group and they have assisted us in opening 7 school campuses. They will continue to assist us as we open further campuses in the coming years. They have been genuine partners helping us navigate a sometimes complex and shifting landscape. Having a direct and personal partnership has been invaluable.
Riyadh school group has had to be responsive to changing circumstances and demands within KSA and CES/Findel have allowed us to adapt as circumstances require.
On time/On budget and no surprises...

Great Experience

We have greatly appreciated the support and services provided by CES Holdings in enhancing the facilities across our schools and university.

The laboratory and auditorium projects completed recently have positively contributed to our learning environments, providing improved facilities to support teaching, learning, and practical activities.

Throughout our collaboration, CES Holdings has demonstrated professionalism, commitment, and a good understanding of the specific needs of our educational institutions.

We value the positive working relationship we have established and look forward to continuing our partnership on future projects.

Excellent service throughout

Excellent service throughout. The communication is really strong and we always knew what was happening with our order. Questions were answered very fast. Where products were not available, different options were swiftly sourced. All round very happy with the service we have received from CES over several years.
