Last week, London's iconic National Theatre was lit up in Etio purple in celebration of its UK rebrand launch event. The event saw stakeholders, clients and partners across the education sector come together to ring in this special occasion, following the Etio US rebrand launch in New York the month before.
The Etio UK rebrand launch event was hosted at the Buffini Chao Deck at the National Theatre, with a stunning backdrop of London's skyline - a befitting setting to celebrate Etio's ethos of "Elevating Education Everywhere".
The evening saw a range of stakeholders in attendance from organisations such as ImpactEd, Association of Science Education, The Confederation of School Trusts, Better Purpose, MEI, the Department for Education and Ofsted (to name a few).
The Etio UK rebrand launch event featured a special address by Etio UK Managing Director, Dr. Gordon Carver, who shared more about the conception of the new Etio brand, the cultural values and the four key proposition areas that the rebrand has been built around: Performance Review, Performance Benchmarking, Education Transformation and Education Workforce Development.
Dr. Gordon Carver, Etio UK Managing Director said: “We believe in creating and implementing evidence-based solutions to overcome the challenges many educational organisations face in improving the quality of their education provision. Whether we are working with policymakers or education practitioners, with our expertise and the hard-won experience of our people, we are proven architects of lasting change."
