In 2011, Vital Partnerships Limited created a subsidiary trading company - Vital Partnerships Professional Services Ltd
(VPPS), because the charity was limited in its ability to meet ELLI's trading opportunities.VPPS had been trading almost
exclusively in the education sector. In 2015, with a requirement to update its technical platform, the charity sold 51% of
its shares in VPPS to its technical partner, The People's Cooperative Ltd (TPCL). Disappointing trading results and lack
of marketing endeavour led to both parties selling their shares to Pathways to Learning Ltd (P2L), which now holds the
comprehensive license agreement to trade ELLI, protects its intellectual property and governs the operation of VPPS in
all markets. Since 2015, P2L had been trading ELLI most particularly in the business and government market sectors.
