Francesca Joins Us as New Marketing Intern

Francesca Montanesi recently joined Anglo-Continental as a Marketing Intern.

She joins Anglo-Continental for 2 months, as a marketing intern. Here is what she has to say about her time with us.

My name is Francesca Montanesi. I have always been fond of discovering new places. Bournemouth is one of my favourite places so far. I had the chance to work in an environment that has allowed me to do a new and exciting internship with Anglo-Continental. Being an intern has, so far, encouraged me to grow as a person. Every person does well in a job when they are passionate about it. For me, the internship I have at Anglo-Continental is one of these situations.

I am currently studying to become an interpreter or translator, and I feel that there is no better way to learn a language than living among native speakers. Not only do you get to understand their language, but you also learn more about their culture. It is very interesting to observe daily life in England. The reason I chose to take an internship in England was to improve my English, through immersion in the language. I would have to speak English in my daily life. I also felt that this would be a good challenge for my English language skills.

Being an intern at Anglo-Continental, I have realised that there are many paths that I can follow with my career. Theses paths may vary slightly from what I am currently studying. However, they may give me more satisfaction in my work. For me personally, this internship has helped me to clarify my career goals.

“Working at Anglo-Continental, I feel I have learnt the secret to its success – the hard-working, friendly and caring staff that I have come to admire and love.”

Bournemouth itself has been a charming discovery. I find it the ideal place to live. The urban area is not too big or too small. It is typically English, and has a lively and vibrant international community. There is always something to do, or some cosy tea house or café to visit if the weather is rainy. To me, Bournemouth feels more like home every day. The town is filled with amazing, friendly people which matters a lot.

When I go back to Italy at the end of this internship, I will not be the same person who left two months ago …and not just because I now drink tea with milk or that eating an English breakfast doesn’t shock me anymore. It is because of the amazing experiences and life lessons this internship has taught me.

Freya Stark once wrote,

“to awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world”

, but I would say, that to awaken in a town that was once strange, and in some mysterious ways has become a home, is one of the “pleasantest sensations” in the world.

Anglo-Continental welcomes Hugo Tweedie

Hugo Tweedie is Anglo-Continental’s new Marketing Administrator.

Hugo will be responsible for the Turkish market, and assisting our Business Development Coordinator for the Middle East.

My name is Hugo and I am responsible for the Turkish Market. I will also be assisting Mr William Delmas-Black, Professional Training and Business Development Coordinator, who is responsible for overseeing the Middle East markets.

I first fell in love with the need to travel and explore other countries when I travelled to the Far East for 6 weeks in the summer over 3 years ago and have never looked back since. Several countries and many mini trips later and my huge interest for visiting other countries, learning about their cultures and enjoying their food, has only strengthened!

There is something truly rewarding about speaking with people from different nationalities, sharing stories and learning about each other’s languages and ways of life, I believe every nation has a lot to learn from each other.

“My new role at Anglo Continental combines my love for talking, learning about other countries and helping others…”

Coming from a background in Hospitality and Sales, communicating with and helping people from all different walks of life is something I have always enjoyed and found rewarding. My new role at Anglo Continental combines my love for talking, learning about other countries and helping others, it could not be more appropriate.

When I am not working you will probably find me playing or watching football. Liverpool FC is my team but AFC Bournemouth is a close second. I try to watch games at AFC Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium when I can. I absolutely love Bournemouth, with many sandy beaches, a big selection of shops and a lively collection of cafes and restaurants. There is something for everyone and I am confident that Bournemouth as a town will contribute to making the student-experience a more enjoyable one.

I look forward to assisting students and agents alike and am excited to develop new relationships with different individuals from all corners of the globe. I cannot wait to experience the students’ progression of the English language first-hand and will be glad to have been a part of it.

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.
