Mark is a Human Resources specialist with consultancy and in-house experience. He has worked across private and public sector organisations, within the sectors of finance, telecoms, education and health, including Ulster University, Danske Bank, the NHS, Lloyds Banking Group, Bristol Myers Squibb and Ofqual.
