And a Great Time Was Had By All at The 2025 Education Today Awards

And a Great Time Was Had By All

A great time was had by all at the 2025 Education Today Awards Gala Dinner, which was held on the evening of Friday 5th December at the fabulous Riverbank Park Plaza Hotel in London.

After last years’ success, we were very privileged to be a finalist, once again, in 2025 and this year it was a pleasure to be accompanied by my director, Paul Casserly. Whilst we had a terrific night of celebrations at the Awards Dinner, sadly, we didn’t enjoy the same level of success that we did in 2024.

 

As you can imagine, a room full of outstanding schools and some of the country’s best suppliers to those schools, all full of anticipation and with their eyes on a prize, with fine food and flowing wine, the atmosphere was nothing short of electrifying. And on top of that, we were entertained by fantastic singing waiters at the table and a fabulous Mariachi Band, both of which contributed to a packed dance floor – and I’m sure a few (or more) glasses of wine also helped.

As was the case in 2024, we were finalists in the ‘Overall Supplier/Company of the Year’ and the ‘External Estate Supplier of the Year’ categories.  Our hearty congratulations go to the winners in those categories, those being HFL Education (formerly Herts for Learning) and Community Playthings, respectively.  We know how hard our whole team have worked this year and we recognise what an exceptional job both winners have done.  Congratulations again.

It only leaves for us to thank everyone who voted us into the finals this year and to re-focus on how we can continue to improve the services we provide to our terrific clients in 2026.

Best wishes,

David
