Andy Bird, Chief Executive, commented: “Assessment & Qualifications is at the heart of Pearson’s lifelong strategy, and this event will shine a light on what has been and will continue to be the powerhouse of our growth. The need for trusted accreditation and certification has never been greater and extends ever further through people’s lifelong learning journeys. Our A&Q business is exceptionally well placed to leverage this, having built scale and strong competitive positions in its chosen markets. It is our largest and most profitable business, its customer base is well diversified, and it benefits from good revenue consistency and visibility, meaning that it makes a particularly high-quality contribution to group performance. We see a broad range of opportunities to build on these strong foundations, driving improved top line and margin performance over the coming years, and unlocking significant synergies with our other businesses.”
