Team Valley's Reading Solutions targets UAE expansion following management buyout

A North East firm that sells digital education products has its sights set on the United Arab Emirates market following a management buyout.

Reading Solutions UK is now led by Ian Fitzpatrick, who joined the founder Michael Walker not long after the business was launched in 2014. The deal means Mr Fitzpatrick is now managing director of the 30-strong company which offers its online reading development programme Reading Plus to schools.

There are now plans to expand on the 1,000 schools that Reading Solutions already sells to, and target English-speaking schools in the United Arab Emirates. The firm also hopes to secure funding Education Endowment Foundation.
