“Being able to admire the work of extremely talented marketing professionals who are bringing education to life is hugely rewarding as a judge [of the Brilliance Awards]. The work by the schools entering has such a huge and positive impact on so many lives and I think sometimes they don’t receive the recognition they deserve.”

—David Milner, Director of Marketing and International Relations, Sedbergh School, (UK)
