Mark joined the Lancashire Skills Hub in March 2024 to supporting the delivery of Skills Bootcamps – a Department for Education funded programme, giving Lancashire residents aged 19 or over the skills needed to enter high-growth, high demand sectors, including a guaranteed interview with a local employer.

Previously, Mark has held various roles with independent training organisations, contract managing large-scale Welfare to Work and FE Skills contracts, including working closely with the newly devolved Combined Authorities in Liverpool City Region, Tees Valley, North of Tyne and West Yorkshire.
