15th January 2007

Espresso is pleased to have been recognised at the prestigious BETT Awards dinner that took place on Wednesday, January 10th 2007 at the Grosvenor House, London.

Espresso Primary, featuring Toy Design & French, earned "highly commended" status for its shortlisted product in the "Digital Content: Primary Other" category.

The ceremony was hosted by Chris Barrie, who noted:

"The judges wanted to highly commend the Toy Design unit from Espresso’s Primary Service for the flexibility of both the in-built tools and being able to use the source materials in generic open-ended software applications."

We are proud to have been acknowledged for an outstanding module and express our sincere thanks to all those involved in its development, including:

Clare Benson, Director, Centre for Research In Primary Technology, UCE Birmingham
Debbie Hadley, Class Teacher, Bearwood Primary School, Smethwick
Humdinger Productions

Many thanks to our user schools who fully embrace Espresso to support best practice in ICT in classrooms across the UK, each and every day. You are the real winners!
