Mark is a true expert in his field and works proactively and with great enthusiasm in everything he does. His knowledge of employment issues is second-to-none and his down to earth approach is a real benefit when dealing with lay managers and proprietors looking for practical solutions without too much 'legalese.' With Mark, there are no 'hidden extras' as he always makes clear from the start what will be involved from both a financial and resourcing perspective and this clarity and focus makes it a pleasure to work with him. I have referred a number of my clients to Mark as I am confident they will receive sound advice within a fee structure which represents excellent service which at the same time provides excellent value for money.
