Warneford Consulting at Education Estates 2025
Warneford Consulting are once again looking forward to returning to Manchester for the annual Education Estates Conference, taking place on 14–15 October 2025.
This event is always a highlight of the calendar, bringing together school leaders, estates professionals, and industry experts to share insight and explore solutions for the future of the education estate.
Visit Us at Stand 429
You’ll find us on Stand 429, where Tim Warneford and James Smurthwaite will be available to discuss any aspect of estate management, funding, and decarbonisation. Whether you’re looking for support with procurement, navigating the new funding landscape, or planning a long-term estates strategy, we’d be delighted to talk with you.
Join Our Sessions
As part of this year’s programme, Tim will be chairing several discussions on some of the most pressing issues facing the sector:
- The New Procurement Act and Its Impact on the Education Sector
Tuesday 14 October · 12:00–13:00
Exploring how the Act reshapes procurement for schools and trusts, with opportunities for debate, a SWOT analysis, and even a light-hearted game of Bingo. - Enhancing Project, Pupil, and Planet outcomes through Contractor and Supplier Engagement
Wednesday 15 October · 11:30-12:15
How schools and trusts can work effectively with supply chains to deliver long-term, sustainable outcomes. - Fabric First?
Wednesday 15 October · 14:45–15:30
Tim and James will join a panel of sector experts to debate the merits—and the limits—of adopting a “fabric first” approach to estate strategy.
