Professional Advisors & Corporate Partners

  • Professional Advisors

    Our professional advisory package is available to a single Professional Advisor per sector.  The advisory partnership aims to (a) provide support and guidance for SEA members, as a group, where professional advice in a particular specialist area is required; and (b) give a professional advisory firm a view of the challenges facing the enterprise and commercial teams in the schools’ sector and, in turn, exposure to the SEA membership who may wish to engage a professional advisor for specific support. Professional Advisors are invited by the SEA. 

  • Professional Advisory Benefits

    • Advisory meetings:  Up to two company representatives are welcome to attend any or all Advisory meetings, which provide an opportunity to network and understand more about the enterprise space at schools.   
    • Virtual roundtables:  You would be invited to provide professional support and guidance at these online meetings when and if the topic under discussion requires professional input. 
    • Conference and Exhibition:  You would be invited to attend (a delegate fee is payable) and, if the opportunity arises, to provide insight on relevant matters. If you would like to exhibit, the standard exhibitor’s fee would apply. 
    • Content:  The SEA will reach out for advice and content input in your area of professional expertise as and when required. 
    • Referrals: The Professional Advisor is the SEA’s referral partner for all relevant matters and enquiries from members. 

    The SEA requires Professional Advisors  to support at least one training programme per year and help with the development and/or refinement of specific content, which is shared with members, to ensure that it is relevant and up to date and meets the expectations and standards of the Professional Advisor.
