Meet Us Andy Crowley, Business Manager in our Reading Office

Andy joined Select Education as a Primary Consultant in January 1997. He came from a teaching background which included 16 years experience as a Headteacher. His change of career was a great success as his experience and knowledge helped develop the Southampton office into one of the company's top performers.. Along the way, Andy picked up two Consultant of the Year awards and contributed to Southampton winning the Office of the Year Award. Also within this period, Andy was promoted to the role of Senior Education Consultant.

Andy was then given the opportunity to further develop his recruitment skills by being accepted on to the Select Education Management Development Course. In conjunction with this course, Andy was also given the opportunity to carry out two interim Business Manager roles, firstly with a four month placement in Reading and then a six month placement in Bristol. Returning to Southampton in July 2005, Andy gained further experience by moving to the Secondary desk.

Within a few months, the Business Manager's position in Reading became available. Andy was successful in his application for the post and commenced his new role in March 2005. To complete the story to date, Andy completed his Management Development Course in December 2005 and was presented with his certificate at the Annual Business Forum in January.
Meet Us Syrah Martin, Business Manager of our Ilford Office

I joined Select Education as a Temporary Administrator for the Ilford branch in April 2001. Throughout 6 months experience in the office, I gained invaluable insight into the role of an Education Consultant and by the end of the year I was offered the role of SEN Consultant to commence in January 2002. From the outset I found the company to be a supportive one, both from within the team and first tier management but also higher up. I enjoyed contributing to the success of our office and achieving new milestones with my colleagues. I worked for two years as an Education Consultant during which I was given opportunity to work across Primary, Secondary and Special Needs sectors, developing my skills as an all-round sales and service consultant.

In January 2004 I was encouraged to apply for a place on the two year Management Development Programme which stretched me further and enabled me to secure a promotion to Senior Consultant in April 2004. Just shortly afterwards in June 2004 I was entrusted with managing my team for a 6 month maternity cover after which I secured the permanent job as Business Manager.

Throughout my career to date with Select Education I have found the company to invest highly in individuals' development, enabling us to take ownership of and maximise our business on every level as well as grow within ourselves. When I started with Select I certainly didn't see myself managing the team just over two years later! Best consultant 2004 and most improved Manager 2005
