Henning Fries Joins Dwight London for the Week! This week we welcomed Chief Operating Officer of The Dwight Schools, Henning Fries. Mr. Fries, who was appointed to the role in November 2019, is working to advance and harmonize quality operations across all Dwight campuses. Although new to the role, Mr. Fries is not new to Dwight! As former CEO of Bloom Education, the specialist education division of Bloom Holding operating world-class schools in the UAE, Mr. Fries played an instrumental role in the development of Dwight School Dubai. Bloom and Dwight joined forces to launch Dwight's first campus in the Middle East, bringing an unsurpassed level of excellence and innovation in international education to both the city and larger UAE region. We very much enjoyed our week spent with Mr. Fries and look forward to the developments we will be able to make with his guidance. CLICK TO READ FEATURED NEWS
