Supply Supply was built on simple values. Treat every school with respect. Support every teacher properly. Deliver quality without the fuss.
Being a Coventry-based family business means we know the local community, understand the challenges schools face, and provide a genuinely personal service you can rely on.
Supply Supply was founded with one goal in mind: to provide primary schools in Coventry & the surrounding areas with dependable, talented teachers who genuinely care about the pupils they work with. As a family-run business, we take pride in offering a personal, friendly service that larger agencies simply can’t match. Every school, every teacher and every child matters to us.
Dave Cummins (BSc Economics, PGCE) spent more than sixteen years teaching in Coventry, including several years in senior management. His experience gave him a deep understanding of what teachers need to thrive and what schools require to run smoothly day to day.
By 2005, Dave saw that the service offered by existing supply agencies in Coventry simply didn’t meet the standard schools and teachers deserved. Determined to make a real difference, he and his wife Anne founded Supply Supply Ltd. Their goal was straightforward: create a local agency built on honesty, reliability and genuine care for the education community.
What began as a small family business has grown steadily through hard work, trust and strong relationships. The focus has always remained the same, achieving the best possible outcomes for children, supporting teachers properly and giving schools a service they can rely on.
