Bio
Mark has worked for over 30 years in commercial real estate, town centre regeneration, and placemaking, at the intersection where public, private, and community interests meet. Over the past seven years, after a leadership role at Revo and chairing the government’s High Streets Task Force, he has increasingly focused on public policy, systems change, promoting partnerships, and leadership.
He has successfully built and sold two commercial real estate businesses, most recently Ellandi, which was sold to NewRiver REIT in July 2024. Over 16 years, Ellandi undertook projects worth over £2 billion, gained B Corp status and won awards for inclusion, public-private partnership and entrepreneurship.
He now chairs the Hartlepool Development Corporation and is studying for an MSc in Organisational and Social Psychology at LSE, alongside his ongoing consultancy work with NewRiver. What unites it all is an interest in how places function and how people collaborate to transform them.
