Our mission
We support financial and operational leaders across the UK’s multi-academy trust sector.
Our mission is to help these professionals thrive in their roles, lead with confidence and strategic insight,
and feel connected within a fast-evolving and often isolating educational landscape.
Our story
Our story began with a small group of finance professionals working in trusts. They were looking for something they couldn’t find — a place to talk honestly, to share experiences, and to learn from others doing similar work. So they created it. That small group has now grown into a national network. It connects professionals from across the UK who want to improve their skills and support each other.
Why peer led matters
We believe leadership develops best through shared experience. It takes practice, support, and trust. That’s why we bring people together to talk, learn, and grow. When finance and operations leaders are connected, they become more confident. They make better decisions. And they strengthen the sector as a whole.
Our vision
Our vision is clear. We want to see a MAT sector where finance and operations professionals are no longer isolated. We want commercial confidence to be recognised and respected alongside educational expertise. And we want a future where professional collaboration drives better leadership across the entire system.
