MTS celebrates 10 years in the exams business

MTS, a global exam services company headquartered in London, UK, celebrated its 10th anniversary on 11 July 2024 in style at a special evening event for staff, alumni, key customers, suppliers, and other friends of the company, held at Kindred Hall, London. 

Guests were treated to a surprise performance of a song specially written for the event by professional singer-songwriter and pianist Mark Hodge, and celebrants enjoyed live music and a late-night disco.  

MTS was incorporated in 2013, but started trading in 2014, initially under sub-contract to International House London, but went fully independent in 2018. Starting with just 6 full-time employees, one exam product, and four exam venues, MTS has now matured into a multi-million-pound global business, employing 42 full-time staff, and 500 exam day staff, and delivering over 100,000 exams every year across more than 25 venues. As of today, MTS offers a wide portfolio of exams and certifications, working with all the major global exam partners. MTS also has global business deals in continental Europe, Vietnam, and most recently Brazil. 

One long-serving MTS staff member attending commented: “I’m amazed at how the company has grown so rapidly in 10 years and with such success and I am pleased to have been there from the beginning. The success of the company has been due to the dedication and driving force of the management as well as the work carried out in each venue.” 

Another said: “I would like to express my thanks for what was a brilliant night on Thursday. It was great to meet up with former colleagues, those who still work for MTS and also meet the newer staff face to face. The evening had such a great vibe, with good company, hospitality, and of course the music!” 

One of MTS’s business clients in attendance commented: “The event had such joyful energy. The MTS team is a group of lovely genuine people and that really shines through. Here’s to the next 10 years and many more.” 

Michal Mazanek, founder and CEO of MTS said: “I am so proud to have reached this important 10-year milestone in the growth of the ‘baby’ of a company that I started in 2014. I am delighted to have so many talented people working with me to provide the best exam delivery service in the business. It’s ironic that I hated exams when I was at school and little did I (or my teachers) know that I would now be leading a successful global exams company. Working for MTS has always been just a lot of fun and going to work feels more like a reunion of friends rather than just plain ‘work’. The office is always filled with laughter and great energy. As we look to the future, I am filled with excitement for what’s next for MTS.”
