Mark joined us as a Developer in September 2025. Born a sandwich child, married with kids and a dog. Living life and enjoying what it has to offer… most of the time! He is a Cub Leader for the past 9 years, 8 of which as Akela (he is the wolf by the way) he also coaches u17 football at Holmer Green FC, which is a new position and he is still finding my feet. The irony is that he doesn’t actually like watching football and doesn’t support a national team! He is currently renovating a house (house in the loosest terms - millstone, monkey on his back etc), but it is home and he loves it all the same. Professionally, he started his working life as a furniture maker and through job hopscotch, made his way to a career in Special Effects. Making puppets, models, atmospheric effects, pyrotechnics and dead bodies. He stayed in that for 14 years until life changed and he met his wife, and traveling for 8 months of the year just didn’t seem like such a good idea. He decided to change careers and become a developer, managing content and pages for various fashion houses and eventually opting for more site creation and backend development. Fast forward 20 years, and he is at PLB!
