Our Story
Years before Engaging Education came into fruition, founders Ross and Greg were involved in a school-based enterprise project that was to become the start of a passion for business and education. This project saw the birth of ‘Olly and Molly’ – a story about two inquisitive characters who travelled to London. Move forward a few years to 2006 and ‘Olly and Molly’ had arrived at Middlesbrough Football Club as part of a project overseen by Ross, Greg and a number of their peers. In 2008, the pair began delivering workshops to local schools and their passion for education grew.
By 2011, Engaging Education became a registered company, delivering creative workshops to local schools. During 2013, Engaging Education welcomed its Design Director, Imran, who brought with him extensive design skills and creative ideas. The company’s summer schools were delivered to 14 schools during 2014 and proved very popular. In the same year, the company secured its first SLA with Ossett Academy, followed the year after by Goole Academy.
During 2016, Engaging Education updated its website and identity, and the creative service grew substantially. Company partnerships were developed in 2017 with the investment in National Careers Week and the work created for KCOM. This same year saw the company achieve the first, of many, Trust contracts.
Today, we’re a strong team of designers, copywriters, digital experts, marketeers, strategists, photographers and videographers with a vast range of partners and ongoing projects.
