Dan Scales

CEO

I started my publishing career providing technical support to schools, which gave me valuable insight into what teachers and students think makes good digital learning content. I then spent 15 years designing and producing digital content for publishers, including many innovative and award-winning digital products.

I became Haremi's CEO in 2021 and managed our transition to employee-ownership. I lead an amazing team, whose passion for creating great content and delivering outstanding customer service inspires me every day. I'm here to ensure Haremi remains true to the values that have already resulted in 20 years of success, and deliver sustainable growth for our employee-owners. It's an exciting, demanding and rewarding job!

I really care about the difference between good and great, which is why I'm still very hands-on when it comes to kicking off new projects, refining processes, monitoring quality and generally supporting our teams and customers.

Anita Harper

Strategy Director

Since joining Haremi I have worked across many projects as a Senior Project Manager, and now as Strategy Director I'm helping to lead Haremi into our new chapter as an employee-owned business.

I try to put myself in the place of our customers. Having been an employee of learning companies in the past, I understand their processes, and the challenges they may be facing, so I try to provide workable solutions to achieve success.

James Voûte

Business Development Director

I have nearly 20 years' experience in the education and publishing industries. I’ve worked in sales, marketing and editorial leadership roles at McGraw-Hill Education, the Open University Press and LEGO® Education. I’m also a governor at Activate Learning, one of the UK’s largest trusts of schools and colleges.

Haremi's customers work in education, so they’re in the business of helping people develop and grow. I love supporting our customers’ own growth and development by helping them to make a difference to future generations of learners.

Beyond the workplace, you will find me renovating our old family cottage, visiting the coast or on adventures with my husband, three young children and our two big dogs. I also enjoy playing and umpiring netball and rounders, raising funds for charities, baking treats (for people and pups) and I am currently learning to paddleboard!

Alison Sage

Development Editor

I've had various roles in educational publishing since 2014. My favourite Haremi projects have been those where I've been working with authors who know their stuff but might be less experienced. It's rewarding to help make an author's vision into a tangible resource that will support people in their learning journey.

I like it when I can contribute to a project that's unique in some way, so if a task needs creativity or if my background lets me fix tricky issues.

I see immense potential in using my skills to contribute to the organisation's growth trajectory.

As a team we worked brilliantly together to deliver a unique and well received suite of highly engaging resources, on time and on budget.
