Strengthening the Chain: TIB Services at the ISBL National Leaders Network Event 2026
TIB Services was delighted to attend the ISBL National Leaders Network Event on Tuesday 3rd February at the Coventry University Technology Park.
Supported by the Department for Education (DfE), this event brought together the most influential School Business Professional (SBP) group leaders from across the country. It was an incredible day centered on strategic leadership, collaborative problem-solving, and strengthening the networks that underpin our school systems.
Empowering Network Leaders
As a unique gathering for network leaders, the conversations in Coventry were focused on high-level strategy and governance. For us at TIB Services, it was a privilege to listen to the challenges facing these group leaders and discuss how we can help their members build more resilient, well-staffed estates teams.
We recognise that for a network leader, delivering value to your members means providing access to practical, reliable solutions for everyday operational headaches. Our attendance was all about demonstrating how TIB serves as a dedicated partner, taking the pressure off site staffing so that school leaders can stay focused on strategic growth and delivering the best possible outcomes for their pupils.
Highlights from our Stand
It was great to meet so many familiar faces and forge new connections. Some of the key topics we explored with delegates included:
- Solving the caretaker recruitment gap: How our tailored solutions address the specific challenges of finding reliable site staff.
- Proactive vs reactive staffing: Discussing how network leaders can help their members plan for staffing gaps before they become a crisis.
- Vetted and ready: Highlighting our commitment to KCSIE compliance, ensuring every TIB professional is ready to hit the ground running.
And, of course, our handy tape measures and radiator keys were as popular as ever. We hope they are already proving useful back at your schools and trusts!
Thank You
We would like to extend our thanks to ISBL and the DfE for hosting such a high-calibre event. Most importantly, thank you to the network leaders who shared their time and insights with us. Your dedication to fostering professional collaboration is what makes this community so vibrant.
