Forest Lockers, formerly Rentalocker, was an internal company that offered metal lockers around the school for use of the students as a replacement for the old wooden lockers that were very run down and insecure. Initially run by its creator, student Wing-Hou Chan, as an entry for the Tycoon in Schools competition, it now owns all of the lockers in the school. Forest Lockers ended operation in September 2015 after Chan left Forest. The school now manages all of the lockers internally.[6]

Forest Tech is a company specialising in web and app design service for internal and external clients. It has now created a website for a local sports council, an app for the school and many other tools used by students.
