TIC Conference 2026: Bringing industry leaders together

An evening of open discussion, fresh perspectives and connections across the Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) sector. 

On 7 October 2026, Investec welcomed CEOs, senior executives and key decisionmakers from across the TIC sector to London for our annual conference. 

Bringing together influential voices from across the industry, the event provided a platform for an open exchange of perspectives on the opportunities shaping the sector, from growth strategies and M&A to valuations and the future direction of the market. 

We were delighted to welcome Paul Barry, Founder and Executive Chairman of Phenna Group, and François Chabas, Executive Vice President and Group CFO of Bureau Veritas, alongside industry leaders and investors. 

The conversations continued over an evening reception, offering further opportunities to share experiences, challenge perspectives and strengthen relationships across the TIC community. 

Thank you to our speakers and everyone who joined us. We look forward to continuing the conversation.
