As a team we want to assure you that Edx Education remains stronger than ever, with a clear focus on our path forward.

2024 has marked a phase of both consolidation and strategic growth for the Group, which includes the UK operations. The company has made significant strides in strengthening its global presence and innovating its product offerings, particularly in STEAM education, play-based learning, and social-emotional development. These initiatives aim to support children’s educational needs while preparing them for the challenges of the future.
The Group is also entering a year of focused regional expansion, with new partnerships and market opportunities across the UK, Europe, Asia, and North America. This reflects the company’s commitment to making learning accessible and engaging for children and educators worldwide.
David Jackson, along with Pony, Heather and the rest of the team look forward to connecting with key partners in the coming months to discuss industry challenges, trends, and opportunities. David will be available for meetings at the Nuremberg Toy Fair, while Heather Welch will represent the company at the London Toy Fair.
