SO WHAT ARE WE REALLY LIKE?

Here's a closer look at some Unifroggers

Nicolas Weir

Nicolas Weir, Area Manager

Describe your role

I’m an Area Manager for Europe and China, which involves working with as many schools as possible in these areas. Day to day I meet with teachers, find out about their needs, and demonstrate the platform to them. I also work with around 60 schools already, maintaining these relationships and helping them to get the most out of the platform. I like this last aspect of my job the most!

What’s at the top of your bucket list?

As well as snorkelling, I really like climbing. Last summer I went to the Alps and climbed Pointe de Zinal, from where you get to see lots of other peaks in the Alps. One of them was Dent Blanche, or ‘White Tooth’, which is just over 4,000m high - it’d be great to climb that next summer.

What motivates you at Unifrog?
 
I’d say there are three main things: firstly, I love building great relationships with counselors and teachers at schools around the world; secondly, it’s great to provide students with access to a fabulous tool that I would have found immensely helpful myself when I was a student; finally, I love working with a brilliant team of people and doing my bit to help the company grow!

What’s your favourite memory of being on the road for Unifrog?

Greg and I recently went to a conference in Bangkok and on our way to the venue we were fortunate enough to be able to take a Hello Kitty tuk tuk through the streets. We saw some great views of the city and I won’t forget that journey easily!

Samar Shah

Samar Shah, Partner Success Lead

Describe your role

I’m the first point of contact at Unifrog for the majority of schools so, if they have problem or want something updated or changed, they come to me and I help get it sorted.

If you could be any superhero, who would you be?

Any superhero who can fly and get to places really quickly! I’d love to visit sunny destinations whenever I feel like it...

What does an average day as a customer success lead look like?

On a typical day I’ll come into the office, respond to emails, and make sure any other project work is progressing smoothly. I also answer the phones and help the rest of the team out whenever I can.

What advice would you give to your schoolgirl self?

Not to stress! I’d tell my schoolgirl self not to worry about the small stuff as it won’t actually matter that much in five years’ time - ignore the drama and hit the books instead.

What do you like the most about your role?

I love that my role can be really varied at times. Although the majority of day-to-day tasks are similar, the project work is very diverse. Also, I get to speak to a lot of teachers on a daily basis and find out how Unifrog is benefiting them, which makes me feel good!

Anna Barker

Anna Barker, Area Manager

Describe your role

I’m an Area Manager, which means I work with partners in an area (in my case the South East of the UK) and help them to understand Unifrog. This involves going out and meeting new schools and organisations, bringing them on board, and then supporting them in using the platform. That might mean things like arranging meetings with School Leadership Teams or going in for staff training events, but really my priority is getting partners using Unifrog and using it really well.

What’s your favourite thing about your role?

Firstly, it’s really clear whether I’m doing a good job or not. From week to week or month to month, I can see if schools are using Unifrog really well, if we’re bringing on new schools, and if schools are re-subscribing to us.

Secondly, I love that each day is different: one day I could be in the office working with the team, and another I could be out on the road, having meetings across London and the South East. I enjoy my varied schedule and getting to shape my days to make sure I get the most out of them.

What do you get up to when you’re not working?  

I volunteer with a few youth charities that support young people in reaching their next steps, and most recently I’ve been helping out with the Red Cross and their ongoing refugee project. I’ve also just moved house, so I’m getting involved with my local community - I’ve volunteered to be a ‘street champion’, which involves things like recycling, reporting fly tipping, and helping old ladies with their gardening. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends and going to the gym.

What’s your favourite guiding principle?

For me, happiness can’t be underestimated. I don’t just mean laughing and smiling; I mean finding a deep sense of happiness and contentment. I try to do this with my schools and partners by making sure they’re truly happy with whatever they want to succeed in, and it’s important to me that I have a job which makes me happy in lots of different ways. I think that, if you can feel truly content and happy, it can drive so many other positive things later on. That’s my guiding principle that I take into everything - just do things that you enjoy and create positivity!

Mitchell Purnell

Mitchell Purnell, Area Manager

Why did you decide to work for Unifrog?

When I first researched Unifrog, I was drawn to idea of working for a social enterprise with a product that I could be genuinely passionate about selling. Then I saw Unifrog's Apprenticeship search tool in action, and it sealed the deal! As a lost young adult, I’d spent agonising hours trying to search for an Apprenticeship so, as many other people say, I wish I’d had access to something like Unifrog at the time!

Describe your role

I joined Unifrog as the South West Area Manager in June 2018. The role is all about building and maintaining strong relationships with existing partner schools, as well as selling to non-Unifrog partners. My typical week will include consultative strategy meetings with my partners, staff trainings, platform demonstrations and general administration tasks. My main aim is to make sure all my partner schools are getting the very best out of Unifrog, and to do my bit to level the playing field with destinations across the South West.

What's the best thing about working with teachers?

The best thing has to be when you mention a particular topic or area that sparks their interest and sends them off on a passion-fuelled rant. No matter how tired or demoralised they might be at the end of a long working day, one trigger conversation like that can show you just how passionate they are about what they do and why they do it.  

Please tell us two truths and one lie about yourself

  • I represented Bristol in the UK Junior Tiddlywinks Championships 2002, and came a very respectable 3rd place.
  • I hit my peak of stardom at the age of 12, when I directed an award-winning series of short films based on climate change.
  • Up until last year, I thought ‘smoothing’ a dog was a universally-recognised phrase for ‘stroking’ a dog. Apparently, it’s just one of my many Bristolianisms.
