Yaz El Hakim, Director of Education stated,

This is a phenomenal public acknowledgment of an exceptional company, a lot of hard work and an amazing platform. I was so excited when Kortext was announced and even leaped onto the stage in a rather overly-dramatic fashion… over-joyed and privileged to accept the award on behalf of Kortext alongside Emma Prowse (Senior Marketing Executive) who was central to the companies award application. I feel it demonstrated both the developments we have made across the business, platform and apps, as well as the growth we have witnessed over the past year.

Sue Black OBE presented the awards and held Kortext’s achievements in high regard.

Driving forward with impressive ambition and working at scale to provide an eTextbook solution… to become a market leader in its field
