New Regional Director to Australasia

We are happy to expand our operation to Australia and welcome Prof. Mark Edwards to the Team.

The Australian office will be supported by CCG’s head office in the UK and will work closely with its regional offices in the USA, Romania and Lithuania.   

Mark, who is our New Regional Director, is an experienced HE professional having held senior roles in Australian and UK universities, most recently as PVC International at York St John University in the UK. 

Charles Cormack, Chairman of CCG, commented “We introduced ourselves to Australian universities in the final quarter of 2021 and are already working a number of them. The Australian sector is now diversifying its approach to internationalisation and reducing the risks of overreliance on previously strong recruitment markets. Mark’s global network and knowledge of the local higher education landscape makes him the ideal candidate to work with Australian universities wanting to expand their global ambitions. Having worked with him in the UK, we know he shares our vision”. 

Commenting on his appointment Mark said “I am thrilled to join CCG following this period of unparalleled upheaval. The global health crisis and other tensions will encourage many Australian universities to reset their global activities, and seek new opportunities and different ways of doing business. With its strong international partner network, CCG is in an excellent position to support the Australian market in these endeavours. I am excited to be back in Australia and look forward to working with new partners here.”
