Kip McGrath Isle of Man was recognised for its innovative approach and
commitment to world leading education, and founders Jill and Andy
Finch received both the “Franchisee of the Year” award for outstanding
contribution to the network and also the “Fastest Growing Franchise”
award for the second year in succession.
Jill Finch told B365: “I’m thrilled and proud that our centres in Onchan
and Castletown were recognised as the best in the UK & Ireland. Kip is
recognised as a global leader in education, and the Isle of Man is now
home to their leading franchise in the UK & Irish region.
“We started Kip here on the Island because, after life-long careers in
education, we both believe that learning should be smart, not hard. Kip
makes use of technology to help our teachers understand what our
children need. This is about educating with intelligence. The Isle of Man is
all about the personal, but it’s also home to some exciting and innovative
companies, and that’s what we offer: a modern approach to personal
education for an international island.
“Andy and I would like to thank the whole team at our Onchan and
Castletown centres, and the brilliant community here on the Island for their
continued support.”
Kip McGrath Isle of Man was launched in October 2017, offering face-to-
face individualised tuition in a small group setting in Maths and English,
using world-class learning materials delivered by local tutors who are all
fully qualified & police checked.
