Restore Harrow Green’s Operations

teams have hands-on experience of
the logistical complexity of school
moves, built over decades of
conducting school, academy and
university relocations of varying
sizes. We ensure that we offer a
seamless and fast transition between
sites allowing your departments to
continue to operate without
disruption to teaching no matter

We ensure that any work that may
impact the school day is completed
outside of working hours by planning
gradual decants or phased moves to
a schedule that suits you, for your
peace of mind and convenience.”

Our ESG Journey
Part of the Restore Group, Harrow Green
is on a journey to become net zero by
2035. Moving their fleet of 130 vehicles
to electric or alternative fuel vehicles is
part of that journey.
“We have partnered with Shell to provide us
with fuel. To compensate for carbon from
our fleet operations, we give back to Shell
and they invest in projects to protect and
enhance natural ecosystems that capture
CO2 emissions, benefit local communities
and improve biodiversity,” continues Toby.
“15% of our fleet are already electric and
we work with our customers to help them
achieve their ESG targets, where requested
and where the job allows, we utilise our EV
fleet for carbon concious customers.”
How do we recycle?
Alternatively, any furniture that you don’t
need, doesn’t have to reach the end of
its life. At a fraction of the cost of buying
new, we can take your furniture away
and recondition it so that it is restored to
a-good-as -new state.
Through our selection of associates, we
can process your items so that they are
re-upholstered where necessary,
repaired if damaged and recut or
redesigned where possible so that it is
given a new lease of life. You can choose
to keep these items if desired, or you
might decide to sell them or donate
them. We can even supply you with a
brand-new range. The choice is yours.
Our ESG and Sustainability Lead will
partner with you on this side of the
project.
