Manchester-based Green Bean Studios® is celebrating a year of significant growth after securing record sales, expanding its national partnerships and strengthening its position as one of the UK’s leading providers of edutainment and learning experiences.
The business has enjoyed its strongest commercial performance to date, with April and May 2026 delivering the highest monthly sales in the company’s history. This growth follows a sustained programme of partnership development across literacy, public sector organisations and alongside educators.
Over the past 12 months, Green Bean Studios has delivered projects with Wigan Council as part of its World Book Day celebrations, formed a partnership with the National Literacy Trust and returned to the BBC on multiple occasions to showcase its work promoting literacy and creativity.
The team has also completed the Help to Grow management programme, supporting the next stage of the company’s strategic development, while continuing work on a major edutainment partnership.
Alongside commercial growth, Green Bean Studios has continued to raise its profile across the early years sector and the business communities. Founder Anita Frost has shared her entrepreneurial journey through The True North Conversations, while the business has featured as part of International Women’s Day celebrations recognising female business leaders.
Following Green Bean Studios’ success in a KPMG-led business awards programme, KPMG continues to support the company’s growth. This ongoing backing aids the brand’s continued expansion as demand for its creative learning products continues to rise.
Anita Frost, founder of Green Bean Studios, said: “The past year has been about building strong foundations for sustainable growth. We’ve invested heavily in partnerships because we know that when organisations work together, they create greater opportunities for children, schools and communities.
“Seeing that strategy translate into record sales and new national collaborations has been incredibly rewarding. We’re excited about what comes next and look forward to expanding our reach even further over the coming year.”
With an expanding partner network, increasing national recognition and a growing portfolio of edutainment offerings, Green Bean Studios is now preparing for its next stage of growth as demand continues to increase across the early years sector, schools, libraries, local authorities and literacy organisations.
