Hosted by the British Educational Suppliers Association, these awards recognise outstanding contributions within the UK education supplier sector. It is an opportunity to celebrate the incredible achievements of those who are pushing the boundaries of innovation and delivering market-leading solutions that are making a difference in education.
Do you publish an outstanding curriculum resource that you want to shine a spotlight on? Perhaps you have an inspirational leader or the best team in the business that you want to celebrate?
