Maths-Whizz in Birmingham!
The God of Whizz needs a slap on the wrist. Whizz went to Birmingham’s NEC at the beginning of the month to show off Maths-Whizz to thousands of teachers and administrators who attended the Education Show 2010 and here, belatedly, is a brief round-up of the proceedings.
Whizz was shortlisted in two categories for the Education Show Awards (ERA Awards) – Supplier of the Year and Exporter of the Year. The show was another great opportunity to mix it amongst teachers and administrators who know and love Maths-Whizz, and those have yet to see the light (for shame!).
To correct the latter, Customer Service manager Natalie M, Product Manager Natalie S, and Sales Wizard Liam showed up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to spread the word. The Nats had already done sterling work organising our presence at the show and managing our award entries.
Liam, Nat, and Nat!

Whizz Education was exhibiting at the ‘BETT Boulevard‘, a showcase of BETT-show veterans at its Birmingham equivalent, and our corner stand was well-placed to bring in the punters.
Anecdotal feedback from the Birmingham show so far is extremely positive –
visitors were motivated to hear about what we had to offer, more oriented towards education (rather than business, as we found at BETT) and happy to chat about Maths-Whizz after the show.
To illustrate the point, here’s Liam in his element – surrounded by future fans of online maths tutoring.
He does requests...
...see!
Towards the end of the show the Nats got into their glad rags and headed to the awards ceremony.
Look! It's Whizz!
We didn’t, sadly, manage to win either award, but The God of Whizz hears that the food was excellent, the drink plentiful, and the company engaging, including the charming Bryan from new Ed-Tech network bee-it.
