Managing Director Atlas FM has announced the appointment of Donna Constance as the Managing Director of Atlas Education, a dedicated business unit focused exclusively on the UK education sector.
Atlas Education is a national business employing over 2,500 people across the UK.

Under Donna’s leadership, Atlas Education is set to strengthen its position as the go-to partner for schools that want long-term stability, transparency and a true partnership culture.
Donna’s journey within education began straight after high school when at just 16 she became a school cleaner. Over the years, she has risen through the ranks of Atlas with a career shaped by empathy, integrity and a deep understanding of the environments where children learn and grow.
