The awards honour the quality and diversity of educational products and resources, educational establishments and the most dedicated members of the industry.
Now in its seventeenth successful year, the awards are organised by the British Educational Suppliers’ Association (BESA).
All winners were once again selected by an independent panel of experienced educational professionals, including many classroom teachers. From the highest number of entries to date, the judges described the entries as ‘exemplary.’
Caroline Wright, director of BESA, commented: “We are very aware, from events such as Bett and the Education Show, that thousands of educators visit the UK each year to review and buy products from our suppliers because of the quality on offer. We have had many years to get it right. Lessons have been learned over the years, but it was clear from the entries this year that the industry has every right to celebrate its success and hard work.”
