Corinne Bickford

HR Director

"I joined the company in 1995 and ran Quest Business Training, a sister college to Frances King. I have been responsible for HR since 2010. I have 4 children and have lived in London for the last 6 years and love having such a variety of things to do at the weekends. I particularly enjoy the theatre, films, old houses and nearby cafes and restaurants. I love walking and riding in the Lake District and escape there whenever possible."

Semone Campbell-Carter

HR Assistant

"I only recently started working at Fracnes King but I have already come to appreciate the exceptional service they provide to their students. I have been in HR for a number of years, firstly in retail then hospitality. The opportunity to work at an educational institution such as Frances King was a welcome change. I am currently studying for my law degree and hope to one day incorporate this with my HR experiecne."

Barbara Walton-Gould

Financial Controller

"I joined Frances King in 2008 and have worked in finance for a very long time, I really enjoy my job and people I work with. I have 2 children who have just finished university. I moved from Liverpool to Surrey 25 years ago and can’t say I miss it. It’s great living near London but if I could I would live in an alpine village in the mountains. I love skiing, sailing, tennis and walking our dog Freddie, who is completely bonkers. "

Tolu Opetunsin

Accounts Administrator

"I have been working with Frances King for the past 4 years organising and reconciling the student accounts, I’m originally from Nigeria. I like London because of its attraction and it also tells history. I like playing football, listening R&B and my best meal will be rice and peas.""

"My EFL experience started teaching English to children in Indonesia, and I have worked in Operations for Frances King for more than 15 years helping the school systems work to meet the needs of our students. Seeing the great feedback we get from students is always a pleasure and makes the work very rewarding."

Andrew Tredwell

"I have been working as a software developer since 2001. I spent several years helping to build a distance learning application and I am now responsible for building and maintaining the various software applications in our organisation. I enjoy time with my family, cinema and good food."

Matthew Martin

Business Analyst

"My first experience of Frances King was in 2005 when I taught at the summer school. Since then I have moved into different roles, and I now provide advice to those wishing to go to university, have a key role in implementing our new database system and in strategic planning. I enjoy the gym, photography, reading and good English pub food."

Simon Meehan-Gray

Digital Leaning Manager

After teaching in Frances King for 2 years (see ‘Teachers’), I became an IT Assistant in the organisation to help give the best possible IT service to my colleagues and our students. This involves big jobs and small ones, from fixing printers to maintaining networks. I’m looking forward to getting a formal IT qualification so I can help the organisation grow and provide a fantastic technological experience for everyone. "follow me on Twitter: @proteksblue
