An Experienced & Professional Retail Consultant

Mark Taylor

CEO & Founder

Bitten by the retail bug at a young age, selling newspapers from age 10 then moving on to a Saturday job at the local Woolworths (do you remember pick ‘n’ mix?). A few (cough!) years later, with a wealth of experience under my belt, I’m still as passionate as that 10 year old, just with a few more grey hairs.

Having lived in over 30 places through my career, I’m now settled with my family in the North-West. Married to my wonderful Wife and have 3 fantastic children. Skiing, squash and football are behind me but that just gives me more time for cladding lycra, adorning my mamil persona and cycling extensively throughout the hills and lanes of the Cheshire & North Wales countryside, I also write a cycling blog (bikes.org.uk). In my spare time, I help friends and support charities with their WordPress website design & development needs.
