Communications, editing, writing, etc.
Developing communications and getting involved in stakeholder or public engagement are things I do in the voice of each organization, not my own. My heart and soul goes into this stimulating and rewarding day job of course – it really does. So that’s all brilliant… but it means I’m seeking a field day for original opinion here.
See a bit about my career in publishing and communications at LinkedIn. I’ve done a lot of recent communications work for United Nations agencies, and I was awarded a distinction in 2017 for a PgCert on an MSc programme in communication and public engagement at the University of Edinburgh. I also have a strong editorial and website managing background, with a number of positions on national weekly and monthly business publications and experience as the launch editor of major technical information websites.
Photography
Taking pictures wasn’t my first love, but it might be my last. Or it might be music if the ears fare better for longer.
Have a look at just some of my pictures at photographsbymark.com. I have lots more to upload from the film days, and I’ve only just started clearing the digital queue.

Driving
Everyone has something to say about driving, often incorrect or heavily misguided by opinion.
I love cars (the best ones anyway) and I love driving (except in bad cars, bad traffic or a bad mood).
