Hello! I'm Janine Funsch, and I've had the pleasure of working in various dynamic roles throughout my career, including Sales and Marketing Director, Project Manager, Sales Manager, and now Head of Admissions for the fastest-growing school in the Girls' Day School Trust.

I've always thrived in ambitious and fast-paced environments, and I love getting hands-on with my work. My journey has given me a strategic mindset and a deep understanding of market dynamics, helping me to consistently drive results. I specialize in developing effective sales strategies, identifying target markets, and creating impactful sales campaigns that boost revenue and profitability.
What I really enjoy is diving deep into analysis and critical thinking. I have a strong background in understanding audiences and know how to attract and retain market share through comprehensive competitor and economic analysis. This analytical approach has been crucial in my success over the years.

In my current role as Head of Admissions, I use my experience to develop and implement strategies that bring in top-tier students and enhance our school's reputation. I pride myself on being flexible and hands-on, always staying connected with the needs and goals of students and parents.

Education has always been a passion of mine. I truly believe in its transformative power and am dedicated to creating environments where students can thrive. My work with Dukes Education reflects this passion, as we bring together some of the UK's best independent nurseries, schools, and colleges.

Looking ahead, I'm excited about the future and the opportunities it brings. I'm committed to continuing my work in education, always striving to help students achieve their full potential. Seeing others flourish brings me immense joy, and I can't wait to see what the future holds.
