Client Voices: A Testament to Our Dedication
At Warneford Consulting, we hold the feedback from our clients in the highest regard. When we asked a few schools about their experiences with our recent services for Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) bid preparation, their heartfelt responses left us both humbled and inspired.
Our approach has always prioritised quality over quantity in CIF submissions. This philosophy has not only driven strong client satisfaction, as reflected in these testimonials, but also resulted in impressive conversion rates for awarded projects.
Additionally, we support trusts by providing comprehensive evidence of due diligence in appointing technical providers. Chartered by the CIOB, listed on the DfE-compliant NEPRO3 Framework, and armed with a wealth of case studies and testimonials, we work in close, transparent collaboration with our clients and supply chain partners.
This same commitment extends to our Diocese and Multi Academy Trust clients. For those managing School Condition Allocation (SCA) funding, we deliver strategic estate management services, create Capital Project Programmes, and develop decarbonisation route plans – all with an unwavering focus on open communication and meticulous planning.
But don’t take our word for it, hear what our clients have to say in the testimonials below and get in touch.
The Academy has benefited enormously from our relationship with Tim and his company. The depth of knowledge and details within the CIF Bid application is second to none.

Bev Chiswell, Trust Business Manager
We engaged Warneford Consulting to support our Trust with Condition Improvement Fund bids. Tim liaised with us early on and put a lot of time and effort into getting to know us and our estates and the problems we encounter. Tim has been really clear with us about what we can provide to support the bids, and brought in specialists to help with our bids, with surveys etc undertaken sensitively when the school was operational.I am thoroughly happy with the bids that we have completed, and we have more tools as a Trust to support with gathering information for future bids too.
Tim is easy to engage with, and for someone like me who doesn’t come from an operations background, he has supported me with gaining knowledge and understanding of estates and how to maximise our CIF bids. A huge thank you to Tim and the Warneford Consulting team!

I had no prior experience with CIF bids and Tims expertise has made what initially seemed like a very overwhelming and complex task much easier for me, his knowledge is unmatchable. Tim and his team have given me direct and easy instruction throughout the process and their support has been invaluable. The final reports that Tim produced on our behalf are an extremely impressive and professional report. I am exceptionally grateful to Tim and his team.
