I love his infinite passion for learning, which he passes on to the people that work for and with him. With Mark you have a calm, well informed leader, who’s not shy of making difficult decisions, when needed. I loved working with Mark and I look forward to work with him again in the future.

Sacha van Tienhoven, Director of Technology
LTG PLC

After being recommended Mark by three well trusted members of the elearning community as the best next move to continue the journey of The Portal, I had to get in touch. I was not disappointed. Mark brought years of experience and expertise to deliver an incredibly rich and detailed project including the RfP that we used to source the brilliant DabApps. Mark was never without the support, ideas and insight I needed for The Portal and I look forward to working with him again.
