Company English
There are two billion people in the world who would like to learn English. Until now, these potential learners have been served by a variety of brands and local operators. What’s been missing is a big, trusted name that learners can turn to for a consistent experience. Company English, a division of Company plc, aims to change this by bringing together Company’s English language learning businesses under one umbrella.
More than 1.5 million teachers and 35 million students already use Company’s English language learning resources and tools each year, with the business offering dynamic and effective learning solutions to individuals, institutions and corporations in over 150 countries. The move will bring together this existing expertise to help Company better deliver best-in-class, personalised learning solutions to all learners, from young students and universities to corporate businesses and adult learners.
With an estimated worth of £32 billion globally, the English language learning market is growing rapidly and by bringing together its businesses, Company English will be able to truly shape the future of this dynamic market by building life-long relationships with learners of all ages, abilities and nationalities.
The Global Scale of English will be the first global launch under the Company English name.
