Who's Behind PremisesPro Academy?
Meet the Founder
Nick Calcutt
PremisesPro Academy was founded by Nick, the owner of Vital Facilities Solutions, working hands-on with schools across Yorkshire every day.
He’s also been a School & Academy governor for over 16 years — seeing first-hand what works, what doesn’t, and what schools actually need.
PremisesPro Academy exists because premises training should be practical, realistic, and built with schools — not guesswork.
Backed by Real-World Expertise
PremisesPro Academy was created by the founder of Vital Facilities Solutions, trusted providers of caretaking, site management cleaning, grounds maintenance, and facilities services.
Vital Site Managers at a Team Building and Training Day
After years of working with hundreds of caretakers, estates teams, and site managers...
One thing became clear:
Caretakers & Site Managers
Need better industry recognition!
through professional, structured, high-quality development.
The kind that actually equips them for the real world.
The Academy is built on first-hand knowledge of:
-
What caretakers struggle with most
-
What schools and estates teams need from their site staff
-
How to operate safely, legally, and efficiently
-
The gaps current training simply doesn’t fill
This isn’t theory....
It’s built from real operational experience.
What We Do:
PremisesPro Academy is designed to strengthen the backbone of your school/academy.
