Three years ago, Secured Supply Ltd was founded with a simple vision: to provide schools with high-quality staff whilst putting people, relationships and education at the heart of everything we do.
As we celebrate our third anniversary, we have taken a moment to reflect on just how far we have come—and more importantly, to thank the incredible people who have made it possible.
From Small Beginnings to a Growing Education Community
What started as a teacher-led agency built by experienced educators has grown into a trusted recruitment partner for schools across the Midlands and beyond. As teachers ourselves, we understood the challenges schools face when recruiting quality staff and the importance of finding the right person for the right role. That understanding remains at the core of everything we do today. (securedsupply.co.uk)
Over the past three years, we have seen significant growth in the number of talented professionals choosing to work with Secured Supply. Our network now includes:
- Teachers across Primary and Secondary education
- Teaching Assistants and SEND support staff
- Office and administrative professionals
- Site and facilities staff
- Cover supervisors and wider school support roles
Each member of our team plays a vital role in supporting schools and ensuring that pupils continue to receive the high-quality education they deserve.
Supporting More Schools Than Ever Before
We are incredibly proud to have expanded the number of Primary and Secondary schools we work with. What began with a handful of trusted partnerships has developed into strong, long-lasting relationships with schools across Birmingham, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Dudley and beyond.

Our growth has never been about numbers alone. It has always been about building meaningful partnerships, understanding the needs of each school and providing a personalised service that makes a genuine difference.
Recognition Through the GCA Framework
This year has also brought a significant milestone for Secured Supply, as we were proud to be accepted onto Lot 1 of the Government Commercial Agency (GCA) framework.
Being awarded a place on the framework is a huge achievement and recognition of the hard work, professionalism and standards we uphold across every aspect of the business. It reflects our secure processes, robust safeguarding procedures, commitment to compliance, competitive charge rates and our belief in paying staff fairly and well for the incredible work they do in schools every day.
For us, this achievement is not simply about accreditation—it is reassurance for schools that they are working with a trusted, rigorously assessed recruitment partner that genuinely cares about quality, safeguarding and delivering the very best service possible.
Feedback That Makes Us Proud
One of the most rewarding parts of our journey has been the wonderful feedback we continue to receive from schools, staff and educational leaders.
Whether it is praise for the professionalism of our staff, appreciation for our responsive service, or recognition of the relationships we build, every kind word reminds us why we started this business in the first place.
As a family-run, teacher-led agency, we have always believed that strong relationships and excellent communication are the foundation of great service. Knowing that our schools and staff value this approach means the world to us. (securedsupply.co.uk)
Thank You to Our Incredible Staff
Our success belongs to the dedicated individuals who represent Secured Supply in schools every single day.
To our teachers, teaching assistants, office staff, support staff and everyone in between—thank you.
You bring professionalism, passion, flexibility and care into classrooms and schools across the region. You support pupils through challenges, celebrate their successes and help schools thrive. We could not be prouder to have you as part of the Secured Supply family.
Built on Referrals and Recommendations
Perhaps one of the things we are most proud of is that so much of our growth has come through referrals, recommendations and word of mouth.
When a school recommends us to another school, when a member of staff tells a colleague about their positive experience, or when someone takes the time to leave us a review, it makes a real difference.
Every recommendation is a vote of confidence in what we do, and for that we are incredibly grateful.
To every school, candidate, colleague and partner who has supported us over the past three years—thank you. Your trust and support have helped shape the business we are today.
Looking Ahead
While we are proud of everything we have achieved so far, we are even more excited about what lies ahead.
As our journey continues, we are delighted to share that we will be recruiting a new team member to join us in September. We cannot wait to tell you more about this exciting development in the coming months.
There are plenty of exciting plans on the horizon, and we look forward to continuing to support schools, staff and pupils with the same passion, integrity and personal approach that have guided us from day one.
Thank You
Three years ago, Secured Supply was built on a belief that education recruitment could be done differently—more personally, more professionally and with a genuine understanding of the sector.
Three years later, that belief remains stronger than ever.
Thank you for being part of our journey so far. Here’s to the next chapter.
