Scott Giles joins Dukes Education as Sales and Marketing Director

Hunter-Miller is delighted to announce that Scott Giles is joining Dukes Education as Sales and Marketing Director.

Scott joins the leadership team of the EQT Partners-backed education group this week. He arrives from Expedia where he was UK&I Marketing Director.

Scott graduated with a first-class degree from New Zealand's top-ranked University of Auckland and joined flag-carrier Air New Zealand.

He subsequently worked in Doha for Qatar Airways leading production of TV commercials, digital campaigns, print and outdoor advertising as well as branding and design at a local and global level.

Scott later moved to London to run sales and marketing for a British holiday start-up before joining Expedia.

Dukes Education is a family of nurseries, schools and colleges in the UK, founded by Aatif Hassan (pictured) in 2015. Surrounding its schools are a collection of complementary education offerings – day camps, summer schools, and university application consultancies. This way, Dukes create a wrap-around experience for every family that joins, not just in school time, but beyond the classroom as well.

Results are outstanding, but there’s more to Dukes than that. Students benefit from the constant sharing of best practice among the group's schools, and the stringent standards held to by a wide team of senior leaders who, combined, have an exceptional record of experience and expertise in education.

Students develop culturally and socially, as well as academically, enjoying a well-rounded education full of fun and laughter. Dukes believes in working hard to help every child find something that fulfills them – to find their extraordinary – the thing only they can contribute to the world.
