High tech and highly robust dispensers

When £10 million was spent building York High School, which opened 18 months ago, it was decided to install automatic Smart roll towel dispensers from Connect Hygiene Products in all pupil and staff loos, faculty rooms and kitchens.Touchless, aesthetically pleasing, ultra hygienic and using 100% recyclable tissue are just some of the benefits York High School has derived from switching over to the battery operated dispensers.

The major factor has been a 30% cost saving, primarily because there is now less waste, and less vandalism.

"The dispensers are robust and stand up to most vandalism attempts," says Steve Sampson, senior site manager,"and because they are timed to offer just one sheet at a time pupils tend to give up. So we don't have occasions like in the old school where pupils would take a pile of towels at a go and leave them strewn all over the place." Hands free dispensing is also hygienic with very little cross contamination.
