Explore Mark’s background
After completing an electrical apprenticeship on major industrial projects, he founded his first contracting business at 23. He soon expanded into construction while acquiring, renovating and developing his own properties.
By 30, his company was designing and building executive homes, renovating listed buildings and moving into commercial property. It went on to deliver construction, maintenance and infrastructure projects for major UK organisations.
Today, Mark continues to lead his Construction & Conservation business while focusing increasingly on property investment and acquisitions through Howe Investments. He seeks strong fundamentals and opportunities where operational experience, relationships and active involvement can unlock value.
