A familiar face in sports broadcasting, Mark served as a regular anchor for Aviva Premiership Rugby and was one of ITV's main hosts for their Rugby World Cup 2015 coverage. He has previously presented Sky Sports Centre and fronted Sky's BAFTA-winning rugby coverage, establishing himself as a trusted and authoritative voice in the sport.

Beyond sport, Mark has presented some of ITV's best-known programming, including the flagship daytime show This Morning and the travel series Wish You Were Here — Now and Then. He also fronted ITV's Boat Race coverage, which received a Broadcast Award nomination.

Mark is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished and versatile corporate hosts on the circuit. His warmth, charisma, and ability to command a room have made him a trusted choice for a diverse range of organisations and events, many of which invite him back year after year. His extensive client list includes O2, Samsung, Adobe Systems Europe, Santander, Halifax, Nestlé, The Carphone Warehouse, Britvic, Dixons, Pentland Group, The Dog's Trust, Jet Airways, the Police Bravery Awards, and The World's 50 Best Restaurants.

Available for awards ceremonies, conference hosting, panel facilitation, and a wide range of corporate events, Mark brings professionalism, energy, and genuine engagement to every stage.
