Introduction

THE SOURCE

Your 2017 guide to COBIS Supporting Members Dear Colleagues, We are delighted to present to you the 2017 edition of The Source, our directory of quality products and services offered by COBIS Supporting Members for the benefit of international British schools overseas. Whatever your school needs...they've got it.

The expertise that our supporting members bring to our network of schools is invaluable and their contributions to our annual programme of events, webinars and conferences are well­known and appreciated by all. That's why COBIS is more than happy to undertake initiatives such as the publication of this directory to ultimately help facilitate new relationships, new partnerships, new business and new sales.

Our privileged relationship with the Department of International Trade (DIT, formerly UKTI) allows us to offer a breadth of knowledge in international export markets to both schools and supporting members. We are the only DIT Trade Challenge Partner solely representing schools so we encourage members to continue to access the quality information, events and opportunities that are offered by DIT via COBIS. The aim of DIT, and their highly successful 'Exporting is GREAT' campaign is self­ explanatory and in line with the values and ethos of COBIS; we want to export the best of British education, including educational products and services, in an international setting.

Whether you are in the market for schoolwear, IT solutions, mobile apps, recruitment support or career guidance for your school, we are confident that The Source 2017 can help you find the right company to work with.
