This represents growth of 55%, making us one of the fastest growing education companies in the UK, with a forecast for next year being £18.5m.” Nick Egan - Director of Customer at White Rose Education
Initially focused on improving maths results in the Yorkshire and Humber region, White Rose Education quickly grew, driven by its mission to provide high-quality, accessible educational materials. Today, the organisation stands as one of the fastest-growing education companies in the UK, offering an array of free, low-cost resources, professional development and unique online/offline versions to ensure accessibility for all. As they continue their vast innovation in the sector, the team are currently testing their latest product - Infinity. Allowing teachers to effortlessly create high-quality maths content, the product saves time with its engaging and effective lessons for pupils.
Growing with BettWhite Rose Education's journey with Bett has been one of tremendous growth, and as their business expanded so too did their presence at the show. Having attended numerous times as visitors, in 2024 they took their first step towards exhibiting through the Department for Business and Trade in one of their pods. Winning the ‘Company of the Year’ award at Bett 2024 was a highlight, bringing widespread recognition and boosting staff morale. The award, alongside previous accolades for COVID-19 Response and Free Digital Content, has solidified White Rose's status as a leader in educational innovation.
“We were so impressed by the footfall and the types of people that visited our stands including Education secretary Gillian Keegan and David Davis MP, as well as education leaders from around the world.” Nick Egan - Director of Customer at White Rose Education
Following their fruitful experience, White Rose Education has decided to exhibit independently at Bett UK 2025. This move allows for greater space and flexibility to showcase their full range of products and engage more deeply with attendees through speaking slots and TableTalks.
Looking ahead to Bett 2025
White Rose Education has ambitious plans for Bett UK 2025. Visitors can look forward to a comprehensive CPD offering, an in-depth look at their new digital products, and even an appearance by Tiny, their beloved maths character. The company aims to leverage Bett to connect face-to-face with education leaders, build relationships within the international community and share their expertise in STEM education.
“We want to speak face to face with education leaders – it allows us to get closer to our customers and show them our full range of products. We are also thought leaders in science and maths education and we want to get the message out to as many people as possible. It also allows us to build relationships with the international community and other educational companies, as well as associations such as BESA and DBT.” Nick Egan - Director of Customer at White Rose Education
