Teaching Personnel People

Mark Weavis - Managing Director

Mark still maintains an ambition to be a science teacher. By chance his career has covered accountancy, banking and investment management. A stint as a school governor introduced a back door into education, leading to Mark's current role as Managing Director. Mark's philosophy is to use the energies of the private sector to provide the best possible service to schools and teachers.

Fiona joined Teaching Personnel as Chairman in 2001. With a background in education as a sixth form college Principal and acting Head of Teacher Supply and Recruitment at the Teacher Training Agency, Fiona's role is to ensure that everything Teaching Personnel does has an educational focus.
