We’re thrilled to announce that Independents by Sodexo will be exhibiting at the Independent Schools’ Bursars Association (ISBA) Annual Conference 2025, taking place at the Manchester Central Convention Complex from 19–21 May.
Connecting With Independent School Decision-makers
The ISBA conference brings together more than 500 bursars and senior leaders from across the UK’s independent schools. As key decision-makers shaping the financial and operational direction of their schools, attendees will engage in discussions that influence the future of independent education.
Across two and a half days, the conference will deliver expert-led sessions, sector insights, and an exhibition showcasing over 180 suppliers. It’s a unique opportunity for school stakeholders to connect, share challenges, and explore practical solutions.
A Partnership Beyond the Kitchen
Our stand will be featuring culinary delights across both days from our new Hawkers Street Food range, a bold and vibrant concept inspired by international street food, designed to spark excitement in dining halls and beyond.
Working closely with pupils, parents, and staff gives us the opportunity to truly understand your school’s unique culture. We form partnerships beyond the kitchen to address key challenges, from pupil welfare to food waste and future ambitions. Our approach is underpinned by care, flexibility and innovation, allowing us to evolve with your school’s needs.
Social value is at the centre of our cultural heartbeat, improving the lives of the school communities we serve. This commitment is embedded in every aspect of our service, from food education and wellbeing initiatives to the creation of enriching dining experiences that go far beyond the plate.
