The Soldiering On Awards is an annual event that highlights the outstanding achievements of individuals and organisations within the Armed Forces community. In 2024, the ceremony was hosted by Jeremy Vine, who remarked on TIB Services’ win:
“TIB Services is a specialist school estates recruiter, committed to assisting veterans from their resettlement into rewarding, flexible employment....TIB has excelled in connecting schools with the talent in the armed forces community.”
This award is a testament to the dedication of the TIB Services team, whose innovative approach has transformed school caretaker recruitment, and follows our win at the Recruiter Awards in September. We’ve achieved remarkable growth by focusing on placing exceptional candidates, many of whom are military veterans, into meaningful, flexible roles. Here are some of our key achievements:
These milestones reflect the trust schools and veterans have placed in us, underscoring our ability to consistently deliver outstanding results.
Nick Orde-Powlett, Managing Director of TIB Services, reflected on the award:
“Winning this award is an extraordinary moment for us. Tonight, we’ve heard inspiring stories from all the nominees, and we’re humbled to be among them. Veterans bring exceptional skills and experiences to their roles as caretakers and site managers in schools, and they thrive in these environments.
“Leaving the military often means leaving behind a sense of community and teamwork, and working in a school setting offers an incredibly positive way to rediscover that connection. I dedicate this award to the 600 veterans registered with TIB. Their dedication and expertise continue to make a significant impact in schools across the country.”
