The operating system for supported accommodation in Wales.

Four businesses across property, services, technology and workforce. One integrated standard. Operating in all 22 Welsh Local Authorities.

  • Property leases the homes.
  • Life runs the support.
  • Connect runs the software.
  • Recruits supplies the staff.

About

Four operating companies. One group. Real shared infrastructure.

TIFA is a privately held group of four operating companies, founded in 2023 by Michael Border and headquartered in Wales. Each company has its own leadership, its own customers and its own P&L. They share one operating standard, one technology spine, and one workforce supply.

The group exists because supported accommodation in Wales is a vertically integrated problem. Local Authorities need homes, support, compliance and staff to land together, at standard, fast. TIFA solves all four under one roof.

Our companies

Four operating companies under unified governance.

Four companies, one operating standard. Each strengthens the other three, which is why the group is harder to replicate than any one of them alone.

Governance

Compliance-first by design.

Leadership

Each operating company has named leadership. TIFA Life is run by Hannah Rees, Operations Lead, currently in CEO transition. Daniel Clark leads commercial across the group. Bessie Johnson holds the safeguarding standard as Operations Manager and Designated Safeguarding Lead.

Safeguarding

Housing vulnerable young people is the central work. Safeguarding policy, training and reporting are built around it across the group, with a single Designated Safeguarding Lead at group level.

Cadence

Group function is small by design: capital allocation, brand, shared standards. Leadership reviews run quarterly. Compliance and safeguarding audits run on a defined cycle. Each operating company stays close to its own customers, the group stays close to the standard.

Founder

“Three hours from emergency referral to safe placement is what the sector should look like. We built TIFA so it is.”
