IHWO is absolutely thrilled to introduce our brand-new Managing Director, Emma Hoyle!  

It's been an emotional week. We have already said a very fond farewell to outgoing MD, Lucy Horsefield. Lucy will, of course, be sorely missed by us all, but today we can start to look forward again as we welcome Emma to the IHWO team. 

And what's great is that Emma is equally excited to be heading up IHWO: 

"I can't wait to get started and to meet everyone." Emma enthused. 

"Lucy will be hard act to follow, but I relish the challenge ahead. My first priority will be getting to know my new colleagues and learning from them. Whilst I've got some ideas that I look forward to sharing, I first of all need to meet the affiliates and the wider IH family and do some listening." 

Emma previously held the post of Director of Marketing with LSI / IH Portsmouth. She took her CELTA with IH London in 2003 and later went on to get her DELTA. Emma graduated in International Business & French and before working in EFL, worked in marketing in the music and film industries, living in the USA and France. 

"It's wonderful to be able to welcome Emma to IHWO. She will bring so much to both the role and to the global network of schools. It's an exciting time for us all" commented Monica Green, Executive Director of IHWO. Emma officially starts her new role on the 10th October.
