William joins Anglo-Continental’s Marketing Team

Anglo-Continental welcomes William Delmas-Black,  professional training and business development coordinator.

My name is William, and I am responsible for developing the Middle-East markets and promoting professional training courses. I was born and raised in Toulouse in the south of France. I have a French father and an English mother and I have grown up with both cultures. My family life has helped me to be very open to different cultures and peoples.

Three years ago, I moved to the UK and recently moved to Bournemouth from Coventry. Bournemouth have has everything a person could want. The town has a beautiful coastline and long sandy beaches, several large shopping and entertainment districts, excellent local and international restaurants and much more to offer. I think that Bournemouth is the ideal place for English learners, as students will never be bored. Bournemouth is a place where you can make lifelong memories.

Professionally, I have experience working in sales, as well as operations and managing accounts. These jobs have included working for large groups of companies across France and the UK. My ability to speak French and English has been a great help to me professionally. I have also recently learnt Spanish and I look forward to using my newly acquired language in the workplace.

 

“We all know how important English is in our modern world. Whether we use it for educational, professional, or personal reasons.”

 

I am very excited about my new position at Anglo-Continental. I am eager to get started and go out into the field to meet with clients, agents and students. My main responsibility will be to oversee the Middle-East markets for Anglo-Continental.

In my new role, I will promote general and professional training courses such as English for Aviation, Maritime English, Medical English and English for Business. I look forward to meeting many new people in my new role as I am a very sociable person and I will have the opportunity to meet with agents, clients and companies.

We all know how important English is in our modern world. Whether we use it for educational, professional, or personal reasons. I have been lucky enough to speak English since a very young age. However, this is not the case for everyone.

I believe that Anglo-Continental will help English language students achieve their goals in learning English in a productive and enjoyable way. The school is a quality, accredited establishment with over 60 years of experience. Anglo-Continental is an organisation that I look forward to telling others about.

Middle East Memories. Farewell to Matt Scott.

Matt Scott’s experience of working at Anglo-Continental.

 

After a fantastic 3 years of working for Anglo-Continental I will be leaving my role as Business Development Coordinator for the Middle East, Turkey and Africa. The opportunities and experiences have been phenomenal. From going to watch the opera at Oman’s Royal Opera Theatre to meeting with Senior Government Officials in Qatari offices which boast 360 degree views of Doha. The last 3 years have really been a whirlwind adventure with no two days ever being the same.

“I have met friends for life; agents, representatives and students that I will not forget and will hopefully always stay in touch with.”

The English Language industry is fascinating. It is one I recommend everybody try to learn or at least understand. The past few years have seen many difficulties that we as a school have had to face head on. The resilience of those in the industry often surprises me. I am confident that the future will be bright for English Language Training within the UK.

“Anglo-Continental is a great school and environment for one to learn English.”

What has made the job so much easier over the years is having 100% faith in the product; it is easy to promote something you actually believe in. Nothing has made me happier than seeing a student actually make clear progress with their language development. I recently met with an ex-student on a trip to Oman who has been promoted twice since his return to the Sultanate; he claims that English has been the key to this success.

“The countries I have had the pleasure of visiting in my role have been incredible and I will definitely be heading back in the future.”

The hospitality of the people has never been outdone. From having a few drinks down the beach in Angola, to enjoying capsa with my Saudi Arabian brothers. I will miss the job I have held at the company. I would like to thank Anglo-Continental for developing me into the working professional that I am today. My experiences at this company will definitely shape my future.
