Mark is a born and bred Brummie, qualifying as an ACA with KPMG’s Birmingham office. After almost a decade building his own practice, Mark sold out in the late 80s, moving into our industry in the 90s. He then became FD and ultimately MD of Forms UK in Solihull, where he and his team took the turnover from £7m to £14m. Since then, Mark has focussed on part time FD assignments to SMEs throughout the country. Contributions include fundraising – both equity and debt, supplier management, preparation of accounts, cash flow forecasts and budgets.
Mark’s driving philosophies are that “cash is king and turnover is vanity”.
