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.
