regional heat of the British Chamber of Commerce Education and Business Partnership Award


When the Headteacher of Balsall Common Primary School in Solihull decided to appoint a Funding and Publicity Manager, he had no idea how successful this would be! Three years into the role, fundraising guru Howard Rose debunks the theory that success requires experience: 'I began my career selling nancial services and enjoyed dealing with members of the public, working with numbers and solving problems. After 22 years in mortgage nance, I ran my own property portfolio until the recession hit in 2008. While seeking new work opportunities I was asked to cover for someone in the school ofce. I loved it! Running a school and running a business were not that different. I kept being asked back and became more involved each time. After 12 months, the Head told me that the school was converting to an Academy and asked if I would be interested in a new post – applying for funding, seeking sponsorship and forging links with local businesses. I don’t come from an education background and had no experience in fundraising, but I am logical, have a can-do attitude and common sense. How difcult could this be? With over 700 children benetting, the job satisfaction would be immense. I said "Yes!", and the rest, as they say, is history...’
