Mark is a consummate professional with over 16 years experience in sales, marketing, strategic corporate development and corporate finance within the manufacturing, logistics, media and advertising sectors. Mark has gained extensive corporate finance experience in a small boutique setting. As an experienced corporate financier Mark has been involved in the full range of lead advisory projects. Mark has exceptional man-management and leadership skills and is the driving force behind the corporate strategy and vision.

As Managing Partner, Mark has specific responsibility for coordinating the professional team on transactions to ensure that all deals run smoothly. In addition, as an experienced commercial sales and corporate development professional, Mark has an overview of all transactions to ensure that each client's business is being "up sold" to a potential purchaser in order to achieve the maximum possible price at the first offer stage.

Mark has worked on acquisition and disposal transactions ranging from heavy engineering to biotechnology, manufacturing, travel, software, security, event management, construction, renewable energy, telecoms and information technology.

Mark says “it is fundamental that the Solution advisory team be technically proficient, however, key to any successful sale process is the ability to ‘sell’ coupled with proven negotiation skills. For this reason it is not sufficient that our advisory team just be stocked with accountants and lawyers. The Solution advisory team also has over 100 years of combined real life commercial experience, in addition to the required technical ability, all of which we bring to bear on client transactions.

The small deal market and owner-managers have long deserved a small deal specialist M&A boutique offering good quality, honest, dependable advice and service. I am really pleased that Solution is filling this gap."
