With over 2,000 members, NASBM works exclusively on behalf of the school business management profession, supporting all schools and academies.

The Approved Partner Scheme is designed to recognise suppliers that are recommended by schools and academies for delivering the highest levels of service.

To become an Approved Partner, Heckmondwike FB was subject to a rigorous vetting process, which included the Association taking up six references from schools that the company has supplied.

As an Approved Partner, Heckmondwike FB will be eligible to use the Association’s logo and its strapline ‘Approved Partner of the National Association of School Business Management’ within its marketing materials.

Approved Partners are able to exhibit at NASBMs numerous regional conferences and at its annual conference.

School Business Managers play a very influential role in ensuring the right decisions are made in terms of purchases for schools.
