Clients and professional accomplishments

Mark currently advises numerous national retailers on a sole agency basis including, Ryman, Choice Discounts, Costa, Tossed, and various independent overseas brands.

As well as his retailer mandate Mark also advises leisure and restaurant operators Nationwide. With the evolution of retail experiences, leisure has increasingly become an essential part of any shopping destination, an example of which is the advisory services he provides to one of the leading UK indoor golf operators, Treetop Adventure Golf on their expansion Nationwide.

Mark is currently involved in a special project for the US restaurant chain Wingstop. He met the owners in late 2019, at the time they had 2 restaurants. Due to his dedication, Mark quickly became the sole agent for Wingstop across the UK. As of February 2025, Wingstop trades from 58 sites in the UK, with annual sales above £150m. Mark has agreed another 25 sites to open this year (2025) and now starting to build the pipeline for 2026. In early 2024 Wingstop was voted one of Europe’s fastest-growing businesses and highest-placed restaurant operators by the Financial Times List. In December 2024, the original founders sold the UK business to US private equity firm Sixth Street for in excess of £400m

Outside of work
