The Business and Operations Management Network™ (BOMS NETWORK™), powered by Standards International, has confirmed a second-year partnership with BareRock.
The renewed partnership sees BareRock once again supporting the 2026 conference, reinforcing a shared commitment to raising standards, recognising operational leadership, and driving meaningful progress across professional services.
A partnership built on shared standards
At the heart of this collaboration is a clear alignment in philosophy.
BareRock’s guiding principle – “Good Companies, in Good Company®” – sits naturally alongside the mission of BOMS NETWORK™, which exists to elevate the individuals responsible for the operational strength, structure, and sustainability of businesses.
Both organisations recognise that high-performing businesses are not built on strategy alone, but on the systems, people, and operational leadership that underpin them.
Championing the backbone of business
BOMS NETWORK™ continues to advocate for business and operations professionals as the driving force behind consistent performance, client experience, and long-term growth.
Through its growing global community, events, and development programmes, the network is focused on ensuring these roles are not only supported – but seen, valued, and developed as strategic leaders.
BareRock’s continued involvement strengthens this mission, bringing together like-minded organisations who understand that operational excellence is not optional – it is foundational.
Sarah Whitelaw, Head of Operations at BOMS NETWORK™, said: “To have BareRock alongside us again is incredibly important. This isn’t just a partnership – it’s a shared belief in the role that operations plays in every successful business.
Their continued support reinforces what we’ve always known: that the people behind the scenes, the ones building structure, creating clarity, and holding everything together, are critical to business success.
As we continue to build momentum globally, it’s partnerships like this that allow us to keep beating the drum for business and operations professionals – not quietly, but confidently and consistently.”
John Netting, Co-Founder and COO of BareRock, said: “Our whole model is built on a simple idea: Good Companies, in Good Company®. BOMS is doing the same thing from a different angle, championing the operations professionals who quietly hold advice firms together.
Coming back for a second year was a straightforward decision. Firms with strong operational leadership produce better client outcomes and fewer claims. That isn’t a coincidence. The BOMS team are building exactly the kind of community we exist to support.”
Looking Ahead to 2026
The Empowering Excellence Conference & Awards 2026 will bring together professionals from across the sector for a day of insight, recognition, and connection – with a continued focus on real-world operational leadership.
With BareRock returning as a key partner, the 2026 event is set to build on the success of its inaugural year, expanding its reach and impact across the professional services landscape.
