Salix Finance higher education client case studies

Salix has worked with 725 clients across the public sector, including local authorities, central government, schools, universities and colleges and NHS trusts.

On average Salix projects will pay back their costs within 3.4 years and go on to save almost four times the original investment over their effective lifetime.  All Salix grants and loans are either reinvested in new projects or eventually returned to government. 

See below for a selection of Higher Education case studies illustrating how Salix help clients save money and reduce emissions.
