Unbelievably yesterday marks 9 years since we lost Lewis. He was such an important part in making Drift what it is today and it's sad that many of our customers and nearly all of the current team never had the pleasure of working with this kind, funny, knowledgeable and hard working guy. We miss our colleague and we miss our friend even more.

Tonight’s the big night wish us good luck 🤞🏻

It's our Birthday!
19 Today 🥳🎉
As always thank you all for your support, we wouldn't be here with out you ☺

We've been a bit slow with our social media this year but we do want to make some noise about how proud we are of the team for being shortlisted in the following categories in the PETA Apprentice & Employer Awards 2024!! 😊

Happy International Women’s Day!

We are incredibly proud of the women within our team who are smashing it within the tech industry and also inspiring the next generation of women to pursue their dreams within STEM fields.
Let’s continue to break barriers, challenge stereotypes and build a more inclusive future together!

⭐️Thank you to the schools who joined us at the BETT Show 2024!⭐️

The BETT Show was a powerhouse of innovation and inspiration! The valuable insights learnt from Drift’s perspective, will certainly help to elevate our support to schools, ensuring we all stay at the forefront of technology in education.

A special shout-out to Toni-Marie and Emily for hosting a fantastic trip for our schools. We have received amazing feedback and gratitude. Toni-Marie is on a mission to curate a collection of cost effective resources discovered at the BETT Show, so do keep an eye on your inboxes for her upcoming emails which I’m sure will be loaded with invaluable insights.

Again, a MASSIVE thank you to each school that joined us on this tech-infused adventure. Your presence and engagement made this experience truly unforgettable.

Take a look at some of our attendees, brimming with excitement and proudly showcasing their goodies!

So close now 🤣

It's the end of term we made it. Now it's time to relax and enjoy the festive period. So from everyone here at Drift Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

As always thank you for all your support 😊🎅🎄

Happy World Teachers Day to all the amazing teachers out there!

World Teachers Day is held annually on the 5th October to celebrate teachers around the globe.

It's a day to celebrate how teachers are transforming education and helping children everywhere reach their true potential.

Thank you Teachers everywhere 😊

It's Drift Focus time! This term we had a little bit of fun discussing the pros and cons of ChromeBooks and Microsoft Surface SE laptops. We might have gotten a little carried away with the Vs theme. Ultimately both products are great and which is best very much depends on the vision for your school. Enjoy 😊

Welcome back everyone! We hope you all had a great summer break. We've been mostly busy delivering projects and installations for our customers, but we also had our annual team building day. Here are a couple of pics for you to enjoy. Between getting a little tide up and all out Laser Tag warfare in the woods, everyone had a great day. Which team was better red or blue is still being hotly debated in the office and there are talks of a rematch next year 😄

You made it everyone! Its the end of term and school is officially out for summer!! Enjoy 😊
We'll be here delivering projects for our schools, whilst you are all having a well earned break.

Hang in there everyone we are nearly there 🤣

Time for something new! Well not that new but we'll be posting a 'Drift Focus' each term, which will essentially be a blog post focusing on something we want to shine a light on, written by our super smart tech types here at Drift. This first one is about the backup solutions we offer and how they can help protect schools against the threats of the modern world.

We hope you enjoy 👍

Today marks 8 years without Lewis. The fact that so many of you didn't have the privilege of working with this wonderful smiling face is a real shame. He was a huge part of making Drift what it is today a fantastic member of the team and dear dear friend who we miss everyday 💙

We are super proud of Toni-Marie who has just achieved Microsoft Certified Educator certification! 😊👏🏻
She’s super excited about using her new skills to help all the schools we work with.

Exciting times! Some of the team will be getting all dressed up and heading to the Portsmouth Guildhall tonight for the annual PETA Apprentice & Employer of the Year Awards 2023!

We are really excited to have another nomination within the team this year as Lois is a finalist for The Rising Star Award! 🥰

Drift turns 18 years old today! We’re old enough to drive, vote and drink 😊
