We’re excited to announce that Nicola Allen has been appointed as Educake’s new Managing Director! Nicola steps into this role after five fantastic years as our Head of Sales and Marketing, during which she played a key role in driving Educake’s growth and helping more schools discover the benefits of online assessment.
Nicola brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for education, making her the perfect person to lead Educake into its next chapter. Reflecting on her new position, Nicola shared:
“I am thrilled to lead Educake at such a pivotal time in its journey. With more and more teachers considering walking away from the profession due to high workload levels, our platform is designed to help teachers save crucial admin time when setting and marking homework, allowing them to focus on teaching and supporting pupils – armed with data-driven insights provided by Educake’s analysis tool. I am passionate about ensuring that Educake continues to empower educators and make a real difference in classrooms around the world.”
Over the years, Nicola has been a familiar face at education events, meeting hundreds of teachers and hearing first-hand about the challenges they face in the classroom. If you’ve ever stopped by an Educake stand, there’s a good chance you’ve already met her and she’s looking forward to meeting many more of you in the future!
With Educake now part of the Twinkl Group and exciting updates like our Wonde integration and expanded analysis tools on the horizon, Nicola is leading the way in ensuring that Educake continues to support teachers and students, whether it’s by saving time, reducing stress, or delivering actionable insights that make a real impact.
