Mark’s love of hospitality began where many great things do — around food. After exploring life as a chef, he moved into restaurant management before finding his niche in hotel sales and marketing, spending almost a decade with some of the industry’s most respected names — Firmdale Hotels, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants and Rocco Forte Hotels.
It was that commercial experience that eventually led Mark into recruitment. With a genuine understanding of how hospitality businesses operate from the inside combined with an entrepreneurial streak, he saw an opportunity to do things differently — helping clients find and secure the senior commercial talent that makes the difference. Over the past 10 years, Mark has built a reputation for senior-level search, working with clients across the UK and internationally. Away from search, Mark has served as a judge at the Hotel Marketing Association Awards for the past five years — driven by a genuine desire to recognise and celebrate the emerging commercial talent shaping the future of hospitality.
Outside work, Mark divides his time between Bath and London — and at weekends, serves as full-time chauffeur to his three children!
