Australia's fastest growing education and tutoring franchise business, Success Tutoring, has appointed industry icon, Allan Menagh, to the role of Head of Global Partnerships.
Allan Menagh is one of the world's most respected leaders in both education and franchising and is revered for his role in guiding tutoring franchise Kumon during its early beginnings to global success with over 23,000 centres worldwide.
"We are absolutely delighted to welcome Allan to our organisation and his new role of spearheading our growth through strategic partnerships," Success Tutoring, founder and CEO, Michael Black said.
"Allan is one of the most respected giants of franchising and he understands more than most the type of culture, vision, energy and strategy required to build a sustainable and fast-growing global chain of tutoring franchises.
"In his new role as Head of Global Partnerships, Allan will leverage his extensive experience in scaling education franchises to drive Success Tutoring's global expansion. With over 25 years of leadership in the education sector, including his contributions to Kumon's significant international growth, Allan brings a wealth of knowledge in building partnerships, enhancing customer experience and strategic planning to his new position.
"Our company has implemented an ambitious strategic plan that will see us continue to augment our footprint of centres across Australia and launch our brand in New Zealand, Singapore and the UK from next year.
"As a result, we are searching worldwide for the best talent and headhunting people who we believe have the capabilities to lead and implement our growth plans globally. Allan is a significant appointment for us and we look forward to announcing further appointments as we continue our growth journey."
Allan began his career with Kumon in Melbourne in 1997 as an area manager, where he quickly rose through the ranks to become a key leadership figure in transforming Kumon into one of the world's most successful franchise operations. He has since continued to advise global brands on growth and strategy.
"I'm thrilled to join the Success Tutoring team and I look forward to taking an active role in the growth of the business as it implements its national and global expansion strategy," Allan Menagh said.
"Success Tutoring is poised to become a global leader in education and I am eager to contribute to its expansion and success on the world stage.

The journey supports the development of a life-long love of learning helping students to achieve improvement academically but also as people as they grow and move through the different stages of their life.
"The attention to continuous improvement and desire to help children to thrive and develop the key principles of learning align with my values and desire to always do good.
"Success Tutoring is focused on achieving growth in partnership with the community. In my role I will be identifying and implementing strategies to build long term and meaningful partnerships that foster mutually beneficial growth."
