ESL Company News

This year, the 5th edition of the ESL Workshop was held in beautiful Sitges (Barcelona). What’s more, this was the third year for the ESL Language Travel Awards, a glamorous gala night celebrating our partner schools where awards are based on student feedback from the previous year. See the winners here.

We’re happy to announce ESL’s collaboration with Lead5050, an organisation which seeks to support women in the international education industry and facilitate them into positions of leadership. ESL is sponsoring the 2017 Enlightened Employer Award at the upcoming Women in Education Awards, an event put together by this admirable non-profit organisation.   

ESL – Language Travel has announced the choice of its new CEO. Anke Menkhorst will replace Patrick Siegenthaler, co-founder of ESL, who will assume the position of Chairman of the Board.
 
With more than 20 years of experience in the business and marketing sectors behind her, Anke Menkhorst has lead various international businesses to success, thanks to her global vision and her ability to foster teamwork. 

To celebrate our 20th anniversary, at ESL we launched the new ESL Certificates of Excellence, assigned to our partner schools based solely on the feedback received by students throughout the year. A badge will appear on the page of each of the awarded schools.
 
Furthermore, ESL also launched the ESL Language Travel Awards, whose winners were at the gala event of the ESL International Workshop in Montreux. The award recognizes those schools that stood out for the quality of their services in 2016.

For the 5th time, ESL won the title of “Star Agency Western Europe” at the Study Travel Star Awards, which took place on 3rd September 2016 in London.

This prestigious award makes ESL the only travel abroad agency in the UK to have received the “Lifetime Award”, which recognises the excellent service provided by professionals in the language travel industry.

For the 11th time in a row, ESL has been nominated by language schools as one of the five leading language travel agencies in Europe at the annual STM Star Awards. It has been more than a decade of great success!

These awards, like the Oscars of the study abroad industry, are recognition of the hard work and the commitment of everyone working in this industry.

The winners will be chosen by hundreds of language schools from around the world and will be announced on September.

To celebrate this event, 20 of our customers will soon go on a free language stay!
