Hodder Education, including its imprint John Catt Educational, is undergoing a name change, and will operate under the new name Hachette Learning. The move will align the division with its parent company, Hachette, as well as help develop its ambition to expand globally.
Having traded since 1868, from January 2025 Hodder Education will unveil a revamped identity and what was described as a more consolidated approach.
"This name change represents a pivotal step as we focus on becoming a digital-first, global business, with our customers always front and centre," said Seshni Jacobs, c.e.o. of Hodder Education. "We remain the home of Hodder Education, but with offices spanning the globe and a network of international partners, Hachette Learning will offer unparalleled global reach. Aligning our identity with Hachette UK now lays a strong foundation for future growth and recognition, and I am truly excited to embark on this new chapter."
Known for its secondary products—including Springboard Science, My Revision Notes, and Progress in Geography—Hodder Education will continue to "maintain a strong presence" under the overarching name Hachette Learning. As Hachette expands its footprint in international markets, it will continue to publish its secondary courseware under the Hodder Education brand in the UK.
David Shelley, c.e.o. of Hachette UK and Hachette Book Group, added: “Education is changing fast, as technology drives more personalised learning and greater global collaboration. While Hodder Education’s overall name may change, our trusted brand remains in the UK, along with its dedication to providing high-quality products and services. Its legacy of excellence will continue to be reflected in Hachette Learning’s offerings."
