Contracts, billing and communications with your energy supplier

electricity, lighting, solar panels, biomass fuels and much more.

Combining high capital expenditure with complex building and safety

developed agreements that can help you design, build, refurbish and
maintain your buildings and grounds.

Your guide to Food and Catering
It’s likely all your academies have many different suppliers that
provide a range of food and catering services. Some might already be
providing fresh, locally-sourced food and others might not. Through
a YPO service agreement you could even access the same suppliers,
but at a much better price. You could also explore new options and
suppliers that might better meet your needs.
