Ascentis Proudly Sponsors the Mayor of London Adult Learning Awards

Ascentis was honoured to return as the sponsor for the 2024 Mayor of London Adult Learning Awards, held on the 7th November 2024 at London’s City Hall. Ascentis was delighted to show our continued support at this fantastic event, championing adult learning and the development of skills across London.

The evening was filled with celebration and recognition of individuals and organisations making impactful contributions to adult education. Representing Ascentis, Group CEO Phil Wilkinson, Group Commercial Director Paul Howarth, and Partnerships Manager Clarissa Wheeler enjoyed the opportunity to connect with inspiring learners, dedicated providers, and passionate educators who are transforming adult education across the capital.

“I had the pleasure of attending the Mayor of London Adult Learning Awards last week and had the honour of presenting the Inspirational Adult Learner of the Year and Learning for Personal Progression awards. This inspiring evening was dedicated to celebrating the achievements and resilience of adult learners across London - each story a testament to the power of determination, education, and community support. At Ascentis, we are deeply committed to empowering individuals through accessible and high-quality qualifications. Supporting these awards aligns perfectly with our mission to open up opportunities for lifelong learning, giving people from all walks of life the tools to build a brighter future. Congratulations to all the nominees, winners, and partners who make these successes possible! It’s events like these that remind us of the impact of our work and inspire us to continue advocating for adult education”. Phil Wilkinson, Group CEO at Ascentis.
