Griffin Education continues to find innovative ways to meet the needs of its customers. The company was one of the first in the sector to develop an electronic catalogue and it is this pioneering approach that has driven Griffin Education’s growth for nearly 175 years.

Griffin Education is part of Fisher Scientific, one of the world’s largest suppliers of scientific equipment to industrial, educational and government customers in 145 countries. This provides Griffin Education with a strong backbone to support high stock availability, quality catalogue production and well-trained customer support staff. The educational supplier prides itself on being large enough to service all educational science requirements while remaining responsive to change and technological development.

The catalogue

2003 saw the launch of the new Griffin Education catalogue and website.
The new catalogue features over 400 new products and represents a thorough ‘spring-clean’ of the product range. Every product, and how it tied in with the needs of science and technology teachers and the current curriculum, was looked at before selection was made for the catalogue. Griffin Education’s current range is comprehensive and provides a one-stop-shop for the school science department.

The online catalogue

www.griffinandgeorge.co.uk features new products, exclusive web offers, an expanded LogIT section and links to Curriculum Online.   

All new products featured in the catalogue are available online. The electronic catalogue is updated with every new product as and when it becomes available to the customer, making it the most up-to-date source of information on the Griffin Education product range.

The web site is the gateway to Griffin Education’s online catalogue, where, as well as buying products, registered customers can check real time product availability and their order status.

Special offers and incentives exclusive to the web can also be found at www.griffineducation.co.uk. The gold, silver and bronze offers have been introduced to sell off old product lines, such as end of ranges or current catalogue items where there is too much stock, to make way for the new products Griffin Education continues to introduce.

The expanded LogIT section now features free downloads and upgrades and highlights new products, software, teaching resources and accessories.

Griffin Education has recently become part of Curriculum Online, the one-stop catalogue of digital learning resources, and this is also accessible from the site. Its resources include lesson plans, CD-ROMs, interactive videos, simulation software, assessment materials and online services.
