Bentley IEA was set up by Miriam Bentley in 2004 after being approached by a business wanting to work with
schools, since then the business has grown and we have worked with many big brands and produced well
used resources. Bentley Independent Education Advisors Ltd became incorporated on 31/10/2011.
Miriam - Director
After graduating with a degree in Human Biology Miriam started working with Special Needs pupils (drawing
on her university studies in Disability and Ageing) where she worked with pupils with learning and physical
disabilities. She then moved on to work at a Children's Hospice for disabled and life-limited children. Her
experience then led her to gain a position working setting up after-school clubs and carrying out accessibility
audits for community halls . She later moved to work for the National Trust as an Education Officer working
with school visits, looking at Sir Isaac Newton's work and his influence on Science today. Whilst working for
the National Trust Miriam won the Sanford Award for Heritage Education. During her time there she also set
up a farm visits program with a local modern farm and the National Trust Property at which she worked. This
allowed pupils to compare and contrast 17th Century Farming with modern day farming. This lead her to
recognise the shortage of quality education advice available to organisations across the country, many of
whom are now looking to receive school visits and/or promote the educational merit of their
products/services. Bentley IEA was born... Since then Miriam has worked tirelessly to promote hands on
learning and is passionate about ensuring children of all abilities can fully access the curriculum.
Miriam is also CEVAS (Countryside Educational Visits Accreditation Scheme) accredited.
Kris - Design Team
Kris holds many qualifications and her experience in design enables us to produce high quality illustrated and
photographic based packs that are very user friendly.
Louise - Secondary Education Advisor / Design Team
A qualified Technology Teacher, Louise spent time working as a Project Engineer after completing her studies
in Industrial Design and Technology with Education at University. She is experienced in teaching Key Stage 3 &
4 pupils (aged 11-16 years) and after a successful period teaching Technology, she then gained a position as
an Education Specialist working for an educational supplier. Whilst working as an Education Specialist she
spent time dealing directly with teachers, designing and developing educational resource packs and products
for Geography and History as well as sourcing new products for catalogues. Louise's invaluable design skills
mean that we are able to offer in-house design for a variety of projects.
Christine - Primary Education Advisor
Chris completed her studies in Art and Design with Education over 30 years ago, and is an experienced
Primary School teacher, who has also worked running a WEA creche for preschool children, as well as
producing illustrations for educational resource packs, both for educational suppliers and the National Trust.
Chris' artistic talents mean that we always have an illustrator to hand for resource books and leaflets.
