SIA (Service Industry Association) European Conference Lisbon

The annual European conference of the Service Industry Association is taking place this week in Lisbon, Portugal, bringing together many of the leading organisations from across the global TPM industry.

Baby Blue IT & Consulting Ltd founders Chris Smith and Lee Bailey will be attending on behalf of the business.

Baby Blue IT & Consulting provides multi-vendor TPM services across the UK, specialising in blended support models that combine OEM maintenance with Third-Party Maintenance (TPM) solutions, giving customers greater flexibility, stronger commercial outcomes, and support strategies tailored to their operational requirements. The UK TPM practice is led by industry veteran Will Nicholls.

Alongside our UK services business, Chris & Lee also provide growth consulting services to TPM organisations outside the UK where we rarely compete directly. This includes advising on growth strategy, expansion into new technologies and markets, operational scaling, acquisition due diligence, and market analysis for TPM providers, Private Equity firms, and opportunistic debt lenders investing in this highly resilient and profitable sector.

Looking forward to catching up with industry friends, partners, and peers in Lisbon.
