EduCo Accelerate, Global.  Gareth Topp has joined EduCo Accelerate as director of business development for UK and Europe.  Gareth has spent the past 15 years in roles for the British Council, the University of York, the University of Sussex and most recently as head of internationalisation at the University of Brighton where he rapidly built up a globally distributed recruitment team that has delivered exponential growth and diversity of intake for the University.  With EduCo Accelerate, he will bring this breadth and depth of UK international education experience to supporting UK and European institutions in their recruitment, conversion and retention ambitions. On his move, Gareth said:  “EduCo are a truly impressive organisation dedicated not just to driving recruitment for their partners but to improving student outcomes – it’s this factor in particular that attracted me to work with them and I look forward to exploring with UK and European colleagues what EduCo can do for them.”
