We support British boarding schools to recruit international pupils from a diverse range of countries in a cost-effective way. We support our global network of trusted educational agents to find the right British schools for their families and they successfully place thousands of pupils into our member schools each year.

Our team is at the very heart of the symbiotic relationship between agents and schools; we are the Network that connects them together. We enable schools and agents to build positive and effective relationships, and we support each side to efficiently achieve their recruitment goals.

Knowledge is at the centre of our Network.  We collect and curate accurate and relevant information about our Network of schools and trusted agents, enabling connections to be made, relationships to be built, and students to be placed.  We also collate and share highly useful and up-to-date intelligence about international markets, enabling schools to know exactly where and how to effectively recruit in different countries.

We have been supporting international boarding recruitment for the last 15 years.  We are honoured to be considered, and called, ‘the best in the sector’.  We are also incredibly proud that, through our Network, thousands of international pupils have joined UK boarding schools, helping the sector to thrive and survive during some very difficult recruitment years. We are also confident that, over the coming years, even more families will find the right UK boarding school through the connections made via our Network.

Our website provides information about membership services and events. We hope you enjoy browsing the site to find out more and we look forward to working with you.

	Suzanne Rowse - Director Suzanne founded the company after working as the Marketing Director at a British boarding and day school in Kent for eight years, having held previous marketing roles in international companies. Through the successful implementation of an international marketing strategy, she helped to grow pupil numbers by 30% and created the target diversity of nationalities in the boarding community.  During her time at the school, she built and developed partnerships with overseas agents, visiting agents in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. She is an advocate for the valuable work that agents carry out and is passionate about providing agents with a voice in the sector. Suzanne understands the challenges schools face in overseas marketing and recruitment. She also knows the pressures of the job – the demands on small teams and the need to hit admissions targets.  She has developed the BBS Network to offer all the support needed for schools and their international recruitment staff. It is the Network she wished she could have benefited from when she worked in a boarding school.
	Antony Rowse - Director Antony co-directs the company alongside Suzanne.  Before establishing the company in 2006, Antony was a successful freelance technical illustrator and graphic designer, working for a range of commercial clients across the world. As well as managing all the visual aspects of the BBS Network brand, Antony also leads the technical side of the Network – constantly developing the portal and online events to be both easy to use and of great value to members.
