News from the LAL Group

One of Malta’s leading and longest established language schools, IELS, is to realign itself with LAL Language Centres with immediate effect.

Following a year of internal review and reorganisation, the company shareholders have decided that the best strategy for future growth and profitability is with IELS at the heart of the LAL Language Centres brand.

 “I am delighted now to have the opportunity to work closely withcolleagues throughout LAL Language Centres. By pooling our management and marketing resources I am convinced that we will be stronger than ever and well prepared to meet the challenge of the international marketplace.” says IELS’s General Manager - Operations, Carol Galea Souchet.

“Malta is at the very heart of LAL’s history and heritage. It’s really exciting to have the newly renovated and revitalised IELS back in the portfolio for 2010. The recent investment in the infra-structure for both adults and young learners has been spectacular.” says Chris Nolan, LAL’s Director of International Marketing Services.

For the new season IELS, which is jointly owed by the Mizzi Organization in Malta and the German tour operator FTI, is re-established as an LAL Language Centre. The IELS brand will co-exist within the LAL structure for 2010.
