I've spent much of my life discovering that where you start doesn't determine where you finish.
Coaching for performance, progress and meaningful change.
The Path to Performance
Mark left school at 16 and began an engineering apprenticeship at Shell. Following redundancy at age 29, he returned to education, progressing through an HND and BEng Mechanical Engineering before completing an MBA while working full-time and raising three young children.
Leadership & Resilience
Mark went on to build more than 25 years of senior commercial and leadership experience, including global roles and working with major organisations. Alongside this, he transformed his own health and lifestyle and discovered endurance sport later in life - experiences that shaped his understanding of performance, resilience and meaningful change.
TEDx Swansea • 24th October 2026
UP UNTIL NOW
In October 2026, Mark will take the TEDx stage in Swansea to share “Up Until Now” - a personal journey about change, belief and challenging the limits we place on what’s possible.
It is a message shaped by his own experiences and one that sits at the heart of his coaching : your past may have shaped where you are, but it doesn’t have to determine where you go next.

COACHING BUILT AROUND YOU
My experiences in leadership, coaching and endurance sport have taught me that meaningful change rarely happens all at once. It comes from understanding where you are, getting clear about where you want to go, and consistently taking the actions that move you forward.
That’s the approach I bring to coaching - whether your goal is endurance performance or meaningful change in your wider life.
