Quadrent are education leasing specialists. Operating for over 20 years with offices in Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, and Sydney, we are proudly 100% NZ-owned. Quadrent’s key market differentiators include our local education team that manages a beginning-to-end leasing solution with a focus on customer service, and we are completely independent of equipment suppliers so you can work with the brands and suppliers you prefer.
Jan Paterson, previously of flexi commercial, is Quadrent’s Head of Education Leasing, and brings over 14 years of leasing experience to the team. With a sound understanding of what schools are seeking from a leasing solution, Jan can guide you towards finding an arrangement that benefits your school and its students. Joining Jan in the Education Leasing team is Jonny Parish, Account Director, who supports schools north of Taupō as part of our Auckland-based team.
We see education as a genuine agent of change because it engenders the greatest levels of personal empowerment, growth, and inclusion. Our hope is that a positive difference made in one student’s life today compounds its effects on all future generations.
Leasing for education
Quadrent offers flexible and sustainable leasing solutions designed to enhance your acquisition strategies, asset management processes, and disposal and e-waste needs. Considering today's economic challenges and the growing emphasis on sustainability, many of the schools we work with are shifting away from traditional ownership models in favour of leasing for their technology and equipment requirements. This approach helps to optimise cash flow and align with environmental and social sustainability goals. As the only leasing company in New Zealand that’s B Corp-certified, Quadrent prioritises sustainable outcomes for its people and clients.
Quadrent’s leasing solutions for the education sector include operating leases across ICT and AV equipment, as well as finance leases that allow for lease-to-own arrangements. Leasing allows your school to remain up to date with modern technology without costly upfront investment in brand-new equipment.
Opting for a lease means accessing capital that would otherwise be tied up in owned technology, so you have more freedom to invest in what you need. For immediate flexibility, Quadrent also offers the option to lease your existing equipment so you can get started immediately.
Supplier relationships you can count on
Quadrent is a fully independent business, meaning you can continue working with your existing preferred suppliers when you start a lease solution, ensuring there is no disruption to your current partnerships. You have your choice of individual products, brands, and suppliers so you can maintain consistency for your teachers and students.
Security and disposal made simple
A forgotten cost of owning technology lies in disposal at its end of life. Old technology, like laptops and tablets that have since been upgraded, can sit in storage, taking up much-needed space instead of being responsibly disposed of at an e-waste facility. With a Quadrent lease solution, the safe disposal of technology at the end of a lease term is built into the agreement, taking the task out of your hands.
We also manage the secure data erasure of all devices which helps to reduce your costs and enhance the level of your school’s digital protection.
