FEdS is committed to fostering links between government, education and business and promoting effective education within the context of lifelong learning across the UK. The consultancy joined the Prospects Group in 2008 and hosts high profile seminars and undertakes specialist consultancy, mainly in the educational and skills sectors.

FEdS has established a niche position, with a membership that includes many of the UK’s 'blue chip' companies. FEdS Scotland is currently being developed and will have at its core a Business Forum on lifelong learning north of the border. A series of seminars are being developed and FEdS are becoming involved in taking over the Goodison Group, which is run in partnership with the Scottish Government's Futures Forum.
