Newly appointed Regional Sales Managers to put Bell on the map

05 August 2011

Bell is delighted to announce the appointment of Richard Murphy and Parrish Robinson as Regional Sales Managers.

Both Richard and Parrish bring with them extensive knowledge and experience of the ELT sector and will be focusing on growing Bell's reach around the world. They will work closely with agents, partners and organisations to support language, educational and training needs worldwide.

Richard Murphy will be working with partners in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Germany. Previously an agent with UKEAS in Taiwan, Richard managed the Taipei office, one of the largest overseas study offices in East Asia. Richard went on to set up his own company, recruiting ELT teachers from the UK to work in China, Taiwan and Vietnam, before joining Bell, commenting:

"I understand and appreciate agents' perspectives on how the business works, as I was an agent myself. I also know that as an agent, you could be confident that if you sent a student to Bell, this would reflect well on you for having recommended this school."

Richard will be joined by Parrish Robinson, from Missouri in the USA, who has worked in a variety of international ELT roles including teaching and academic management. Now responsible for developing business in the Middle East, as well as North Africa, India and Turkey, Parrish will be based in Amman, Jordan:

"Bell has a strong reputation for delivering quality products and I look forward to working with our partners, developing programmes that meet their clients' needs and the sector's growing demands for young learner and teacher training courses."

Richard and Parrish join Silvina Berry and Katie Latimer as Regional Sales Managers at Bell. Katie, who speaks Mandarin, started in February and is responsible for China, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan.
