Description
Welcome to I'd Rather be at the Beach, the podcast for school marketing managers that's *not* about school marketing management. Instead we talk about everything else that school marketing managers spend their time doing. Their families, their hobbies, the previous jobs they've had, the music they're into, the books they're reading and the holidays they've been on. This is the podcast for you if you're a school marketing manager who likes your job, you might even love your job. But you'd rather be at the beach.

Irfan Latif, Principal at DLD College London

Today we have Irfan Latif, Principal of DLD College London. You probably know who he is, I don’t want to embarrass the guy, but whenever anything is happening in the world of independent schools Irfan is probably involved in it at least to some level.
He’s a nomination for the Tatler Best Head of a Public School award along with, I must say, some fairly stiff competition, but more importantly, Irfan, I think you’ll agree, is just one of the nicest people who works in the independent schools sector.
So I was delighted when we got a date in the diary to record this. It’s fun, it’s informal, it’s Irfan Latif.

Fane Henderson, Marketing Director at The Leys

#36 - Welcome back to ‘I’d Rather be at the Beach’, brought to you by me, I’m Simon and I run The Bonjour Agency. If you work in an independent school then this is the podcast for you where we don’t talk about work but we do talk to people in the independent school sector.
Today we have a Director of Marketing with us, it’s Fane Henderson and he’s at The Leys School in Cambridgeshire.
Fane and I know each other from when he was at Bedford Modern School before he joined The Leys but we also catch up at the AMCIS conference each year which is a great opportunity to catch up with various people.
That said, there was still so much I didn’t know about Fane so talking to him in this podcast is a great way to talk about non-work things.
So let’s not waste anymore time but instead come with me as we speak to Director of Marketing, Fane Henderson.

💃🏻 Alison Melrose, Dancing Queen of Central London

#36 - Welcome back to ‘I’d Rather be at the Beach’, brought to you by me, I’m Simon and I run The Bonjour Agency. If you work in an independent school then this is the podcast for you where we don’t talk about work but we do talk to people in the independent school sector.
Now today I’m with a Headteacher. Alison Melrose is the Head at Cameron Vale in London, it’s a Prep School, it’s in the centre of London and we talk about city life vs country life.
But we also talk about what Alison does when she’s not in school, we talk about Strictly Heads, an event that was happening a few months ago that sounds like it was oodles of fun, we talk about being a busy parent and many other things in between.
Alison is lovely and if you know her you’ll know she’s very well connected in the independent schools sector.
So let’s not fluff about. Come with me as we speak to the delightful, the respectable, the admirable, Alison Melrose.

😎 Miles Latham (Affixxius), the conversation I wasn't expecting...
2023/09/15
#34 - Welcome back to ‘I’d Rather be at the Beach’, brought to you by me, I’m Simon and I run The Bonjour Agency. If you work in an independent school then this is the podcast for you where we don’t talk about work but we do talk to people in the independent school sector.
Now today I’m talking to Miles Latham, co-founder of Affixxius and someone you probably know if you work in the independent schools sector.
I get to ask Miles about what he would do if he wasn’t working in film or working with schools. I wasn’t expecting the answer he gave, I can tell you that! But we also talked about LinkedIn, other social media, what he enjoys doing when he’s not in a school and three of his favourite places in the world.
We also find out how many films Miles has watched in his life so take a guess now to see if you’re anywhere close to what the actual number is.
That’s all coming up in the next 30 ish minutes so come with me as we step into a conversation with the co-founder of Affixxius, Miles Latham.
