April 20, 2011 – Science Warehouse, one of the fastest growing companies in the e-business sector, has won a three-year contract with the University of Sheffield. The new partnership with the University of Sheffield sees Science Warehouse providing its market leading technology to drive compliance across all areas of catalogue-based purchasing.

It will improve support for our staff while also driving savings and improved efficiencies.
