TYI Support

Secretariat services for organisations

TYI Support provides premium secretariat support services to interest groups across the political spectrum and across sectors. Groups and organisations that TYI Support work with will be committed to promoting growth and to strengthening economically strategic sectors. Having a strong and reliable secretariat and place will enable these groups to focus on their mission and reason for being.

TYI Support

TYI Support can provide a wide range of secretariat services and the exact nature of the support will depend on the needs of the group and the wider sector. Groups using our secretariat services will benefit from the TYI Group’s wider expertise and network and will be able to work closely with other divisions of the TYI Group to commission research, public affairs and advisory services. As a company running secretariat services for multiple groups, we are able to access software packages on the client’s behalf that may otherwise be out of reach, such as payroll software and communications software. This also reduces the administrative burden on what is usually a small staff team.

We already provide secretariat services for groups such as the Labour Growth Group, Labour Tech and the Quantum Defence Research Association. Support has included organising and running a gala dinner for the Labour Growth Group and establishing Labour Tech and the QRDA from the ground up.

We provide operations and secretarial services to organisations that include Labour Growth Group, Labour Tech and Quantum Defence Research Association. From event organising to staff support we offer a full suite of services to build capacity and resilience to organisations that need it.
The Labour Growth Group is committed to tearing down the barriers to growth. We believe that many of the barriers to unleashing a new era of growth in the United Kingdom are political and we exist to confront those barriers.
Labour Tech are group of industry professionals helping to deliver a change in technology policy in Britain. Our policy and events are delivered by technology industry professionals for technology industry professionals.

HR and Payroll

As an experienced events management function, we can organise events for your group, from small roundtable discussions to large, set piece conferences, as well as fundraising events.

Membership management

We are able to establish and maintain membership databases and provide member support such as administering any fees, producing membership packs and writing annual reports on behalf of the client group.

With a strong background in internal and external communications, we can manage key communications relationships for the group. Communications support can include packages such as MailChimp, graphic design and social media management, as well as proactive and reactive media relationships.
