"With a quarter of a century behind us, it is time to begin the next one!"
June 2025 will be a month of celebrations at The International Butler Academy (TIBA).
As we celebrate twenty-five years of outstanding service, The International Butler Academy (TIBA) continues to uphold its core values and dedication while evolving to meet changing market demands.
It seems like only yesterday that Mr. Robert Wennekes founded The International Butler Academy in late 1999. A visionary with a passion for the True Art of Service, Mr. Wennekes welcomed students from all over the world to embark on this journey of service excellence. Under his strict yet fair supervision, many TIBA alumni have gone on to prestigious butling and private service careers.
As we approach this remarkable milestone, TIBA shares its vision of the future of butling and its esteemed role in the private service and hospitality profession. We see it as our duty to be prepared for the future, welcoming all who understand or wish to understand the "True Art of Service" while doing so by remaining true to TIBA’s Pledge and its core traditional values.
Although we are finalizing the details for our month of celebration. Please mark the following important dates in your calendar:
- Sunday, 1st of June: Opening of TIBA’s 25th Anniversary Celebration Month
- Saturday, 7th of June: TIBA Graduates Only! Celebrate as a TIBA Family
- Saturday, 21st of June: Recruiters’ Day
- Saturday, June 28th: All Butlers and private service staff, let's celebrate our beautiful profession and close the 25th year of TIBA Celebration Month with a beautiful Gala evening.
