Katie Cavill
Managing Director
After almost 17 years in the education sector, I founded The Learning Line to do what I'm most passionate about - connecting world-leading educationalists with schools across the country. Having been privileged to work with some of the most interesting, influential, and innovative authors, speakers and presenters from around the world, I realised I could leverage these relationships and my deep industry knowledge to create something truly impactful.
The Learning Line was borne from my mission to facilitate schools' access to cutting-edge educational expertise. I transform academic research into practical CPD programmes, keynotes, and professional learning opportunities that drive real improvements in teaching and learning. My role involves working closely with high-profile speakers to develop their research into tangible programmes, then managing the complex relationships between these experts and educational organisations including Multi-Academy Trusts, Local Authorities, Learning Partnerships, and individual schools.
What sets The Learning Line apart is my unique position directly managing the diaries of some of the world's leading educationalists, including Mary Myatt, Amjad Ali, David Didiau and many others. This gives me instant access to availability and direct pricing, allowing me to offer unparalleled service to schools seeking world-class professional development.
Starting my own business has been a dream realised, and the overwhelming support from both the presenters I've worked with over the years and the enthusiastic response from clients has exceeded all my expectations. I'm harnessing nearly two decades of experience to focus on what I know I do better than anybody - building meaningful relationships and creating transformative learning experiences that genuinely improve education.

Having recently graduated from Northumbria University with a First-Class Honours degree in Business Management, I'm passionate about applying my knowledge to help businesses grow, improve and succeed. Throughout my studies, I developed a strong understanding of business strategy, operations, marketing, finance and organisational management, giving me a well-rounded foundation that I'm excited to build on throughout my career.
My professional journey began with a summer internship at Spectrum, where I gained valuable hands-on experience working within a fast-paced business environment. The relationships I built and the work I delivered resulted in a recommendation that led me to join The Learning Line at an exciting stage in the company's growth.
As part of The Learning Line, I'm committed to supporting the business as it continues to expand. I enjoy finding practical solutions, improving processes and contributing wherever I can to help the team deliver an exceptional experience for clients. I'm naturally organised, eager to learn and always looking for opportunities to develop new skills while making a positive impact on the business.
I'm particularly interested in business operations, relationship management and continuous improvement. I believe the best businesses are built on strong teamwork, excellent customer relationships and a willingness to embrace new ideas, and I'm excited to continue growing my career in an environment that shares those values.
Outside of work, I'm a keen sports enthusiast with a particular passion for golf and football. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and I bring the same enthusiasm, determination and team-focused mindset from sport into my professional life. As I continue my career with The Learning Line, I'm looking forward to learning from an experienced team, taking on new challenges and playing my part in the company's continued success.
