For over 19 years, we’ve walked a path of continuous evolution—learning from experience, unlearning what no longer serves, and relearning to stay ahead. Today, as a small yet ambitious consultancy, we’re poised to lead change, fostering individual and organisational growth through our facilitation of education, training, talent development, and innovation partnerships between the UK and China. Our passion is clear: to create a culture of learning that drives excellence and mutual prosperity.
Our Vision, Mission, and Ambition
Our vision is a world where learning transcends borders, and growth is a collective endeavour. We imagine a future where UK and Chinese organisations flourish together, drawing on each other’s strengths to unlock new opportunities in education, talent, and innovation.
Our mission is to make this future real. Through EFEC, we forge partnerships that empower individuals and organisations to confidently enter each other’s markets, supported by tailored training, talent development, and business innovation strategies. We’re here to build ecosystems where knowledge flows freely, igniting creativity and resilience.
Our ambition is to lead by example—to be a guiding light for learning, illuminating the path through strategy, culture, and action. We aim to scale our impact, helping our clients and partners achieve extraordinary results by embedding a vibrant learning culture into everything we do.
A 19-Year Evolution: Becoming a Learning Organisation
EFEC’s story spans nearly two decades of transformation. What began as a modest consultancy has grown into a trusted partner for cross-border collaboration, shaped by a relentless commitment to learning. Our journey hasn’t been a straight line—it’s been a dynamic cycle of discovery, adaptation, and renewal.
In our early days, we immersed ourselves in understanding the distinct needs of UK and Chinese markets. We learned how to bridge cultural and business divides, laying the foundation for our expertise. As the world evolved—through digital shifts, changing workforce demands, and innovation-driven growth—we let go of outdated approaches and embraced new ways of thinking. Through collaborations with educators, businesses, and innovators, we refined our ability to deliver impactful programmes, from upskilling workforces to supporting market entry.
This 19-year evolution has taught us that becoming a learning organisation is an active, ongoing process. It demands curiosity, adaptability, and leaders who embody learning in their daily work. At EFEC, our team lives this philosophy, blending practical facilitation with strategic vision to guide our partners toward success.
Crafting Learning Partnerships for Mutual Growth
What defines EFEC is our commitment to mutual growth. We don’t just provide services—we co-create learning experiences with our partners in the UK and China. Our approach balances everyday learning with ambitious, structured initiatives, fostering a culture where progress is both practical and inspiring.
For our UK partners, we unlock the potential of China’s vibrant market, offering cultural insight, training, and business support. For our Chinese clients, we pave the way into the UK’s innovation landscape, delivering pathways to talent and opportunity. Together, we cultivate a learning environment where skills are sharpened, knowledge is shared, and ambitions are achieved.
Our work is grounded in real-world experience, not borrowed formulas. Over 19 years, we’ve honed a method that’s uniquely EFEC—practical yet forward-thinking, tailored to the needs of our partners, and fuelled by a genuine joy in seeing growth take root.
Leading the Change That We Wish to See
At EFEC, we believe that leaders must be the torchbearers of learning—setting the tone through their actions and vision. For nearly two decades, we’ve lived this principle, building a consultancy that doesn’t just talk about learning but embodies it. We’re not content to follow trends; we aim to shape them, creating a ripple effect of growth across borders.
To our partners and clients in the UK and China: we invite you to join us on this journey. Let’s build organisations where learning is the cornerstone of excellence, where letting go of the old makes room for the new, and where reimagining the future drives innovation. Together, we can create a legacy of shared success—one partnership, one lesson, one breakthrough at a time.
