Mark believes passionately in equality for all and in building a diverse team to attract and retain talented people. As an LGBT+ ally, he is keen for all team members and colleagues to reach their full potential.

He has demonstrated allyship by encouraging his team to open diversity conversations about gender identities, supporting colleagues when needed.
