Michael commented: “I have been observing Learning Resources’ development for quite some time. It’s a great company with a professional team and excellent products which really deliver on its education-through-play promise. It’s a challenging role, but one which I’m excited to embrace and enhance with my knowledge and experience. I’m very much looking forward to it, and to being part of the Learning Resources team in the UK.”
