Replace analogue central heating timer

Hi
I work for a charity working in a building with a very old central heating system. It still works (and we can't afford to have it replaced!) but we need to change the old dilapidated analogue rotary timer with a 7 day timer to cut back on costs. It's a Grasslin Towerchron (that's what it says on the box) with blue and red switches on a circular dial. Any advice? We're based in Ashford in Kent.
Thanks for reading

Contact Grasslin using contact form(technical enquiry). You can attach a photo of what you have now and they could recommend a suitable 7 day timer. They're based in Kent as well.0 -
Thanks, will give them a try0

It's probably a very simple timer and any old new one will work. Someone handy should be able to look at it for you.0

Update: Grasslin have recommended a replacement timer. I contacted the company that service our boiler and they have given me the contact details of the electrician who does similar work for them.
Thanks to both of you for your assistance, your time is much appreciated0
