EVOLVE Advice shortlisted for MAT Awards
EVOLVE Advice is celebrating becoming a finalist in two awards at the National MAT Awards 2025.
The educational visits advice and training service has been shortlisted for two awards, Company of the Year and Rising Company of the Year, in recognition of its work supporting multi-academy trusts with their educational visits.
The National MAT Awards is run by the MAT Association, a membership body for multi-academy trusts. The awards are designed to recognise excellence in the sector, and reward both Trusts and suppliers of services to MATs. The winners will be announced at a ceremony on 6 March.
In 2024, EVOLVE Advice supported over six hundred schools across dozens of MATs with educational visits advice and guidance. These schools organised an impressive 78,000 trips and visits, giving nearly one million children (900,508) potentially life-changing experiences outside the classroom.
Jake Wiid, Director at EVOLVE Advice said:
“I’m incredibly proud that EVOLVE Advice has been named as a finalist in these awards. We’re a small team trying to make a big difference and being shortlisted for these awards is a fantastic recognition of the value placed on the support we deliver for MATs, both at a central and school level.
“We’ve grown our work with MATs of all sizes in recent years, developing streamlined processes that help them to raise and monitor standards across the Trust while providing specialist advice and training to EVCs to empower them to deliver safe and memorable educational visits for their children and young people.”
