Andy Iredale · Independent consultant

Education.
Connections.
Opportunity.

I help education organisations tell their story, develop their digital offer and build stronger relationships with the people who matter.

Practical thinking. Creative work. Experience that connects the two.

How I can help

From a clearer message
to a stronger connection.

Whether you are reaching families, engaging employers or developing a learning platform, it starts with understanding your audience.

01 / COMMUNICATE

Make your story matter.

Marketing strategy, positioning, website content and communications for schools, trusts, colleges and training organisations.

02 / DEVELOP

Turn ideas into useful digital experiences.

School websites, membership platforms and online learning experiences shaped around the people who use them.

03 / CONNECT

Bring education and employers closer.

Careers programmes, virtual work experience and employer partnerships that help young people explore their next steps.

Experience with perspective

I understand education from the inside.

My background brings together marketing and PR agencies, commercial leadership and senior roles in further education. Since 1993, education has been central to my career.

Today, my work includes ongoing relationships with Schudio and Edazoo, alongside Blackpool Skills Academy, which I established in 2023.
