Pearson CEO John Fallon Responds to Brexit

Many people have asked me about Pearson’s response to the recent result of the UK’s referendum on membership of the EU. Here is a note that I shared with Pearson’s colleagues last Friday (06.24.16) immediately after the result.

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to share some immediate thoughts in the light of the UK’s vote to leave the European Union.

These are clearly uncertain times for the UK and for Europe. Pearson’s view throughout the campaign was that the UK was better off within the EU. Of course we fully respect the democratic decision that has been taken and, for Pearson, we will now focus on forging a successful path in a new context.
