This is where they land.
A headful of galaxies, pointed at real problems.
I'm Mark, and I genuinely love this stuff. I've run hotels, a bistro and a zero-waste bar, found my way into insurance operations, and twice had the good fortune to rebuild a whole function and grow into leading it inside a couple of years. These days I'm building Homesy's operation from a blank page for Zest, bringing practical AI into real businesses, and helping the people behind them do their best work. Give me something a little broken and a team worth backing, and I'm properly in my element. Honestly, that's the best part of the job.
Four ways the galaxies land.
AI & Automations
Practical systems, not demos: automations that remove real hours from real weeks, built around how your team actually works.
Consultancy & Startups
Fresh eyes on a broken function, or a blank sheet turned into an operating model. I've built ventures from zero and rebuilt inherited ones. Launch fast, refine live.
People & Leadership
Teams developed, not managed. From break-even to £120k profit in 18 months by building the people first.
Partnerships & Growth
A 90+ partner network managed nationally at ZEST. Scorecards, benchmarks and review cadences built from nothing. Relationships that compound.
The orbit so far.
Sustainable BarZERO-WASTE CONCEPT, LAUNCHED FROM INCEPTION
Every job I've taken has been the same shape. Walk into something that isn't working, get it running, and hand it back better than I found it.
