I worked with Mark at Transport for London. Mark was a pleasure to work both with and for. He delivered significant results during and after the Olympics and is a supportive manager who is personable but focussed and able to get the best from his staff. I am happy to endorse Mark.

I have had the pleasure of working with Mark whilst I was working for the Metropolitan Police (MPS) and at Transport for London (TfL). He is a personable passionate individual with excellent communications skills and was key in developing the relationship between the roads element of TfL and the MPS. I worked closely with Mark as he led the design, delivery and handover of the Transport Coordination Centre (TCC) for the 2012 Olympic Games. We worked collaboratively during the Games run up and operations, integrating it with other key operational centres, through to post Games, embedding the lessons learnt. The success of the TCC, which was awarded the • National Transport Times award for ‘Outstanding Contribution to Transport’ was in part due to the key role Mark played.
