Nord Anglia Education: Meeting the CEO, Mr. Andrew Fitzmaurice and Head of Brand, Ms. Sarah Doyle.

Since Reach A Student is all about getting and sharing insight within school communities, I was hoping to meet the new owners of our school - Windermere Preparatory School when I was on vacation this summer in Hong Kong.  I honestly did not know what to expect from my visit to the Nord Anglia Education Head Office.  Ms. Sarah Doyle had arranged for me to meet and interview the CEO himself, Mr. Andrew Fitzmaurice. 

The interview was scheduled for 11am on a Thursday and our hotel was located in the tallest building in Hong Kong on Kowloon and their office was on Hong Kong Island so our taxi went on a short ride through a tunnel that crossed the famous harbor in just a few minutes.  The drive only took a quick 15 minutes to reach St. Georges Building where Nord Anglia Education had the entire 12^th Floor. 

After a quick wait in their reception area, Ms. Doyle came out to greet me and take me to Mr. Fitzmaurice's office.  He has a beautiful office with a great view of the harbor and the Hong Kong Eye (which looks a lot like the Orlando Eye).  Ms. Doyle and Mr. Fitzmaurice were very kind and Mr. Fitzmaurice shared some nice stories about himself, his family and Nord Anglia Education.

Ms. Doyle was really kind and presented me with some literature about some of their programs as well as a boxed gift, which was very generous of her.  They explained some of the opportunities that Windermere Prep students could now benefit from – like Global Classroom and the Julliard partnership.  It was an amazing experience and I can't thank Nord Anglia leadership enough for their generosity with their time and for welcoming a student from 1 of their 41-school family.
