Mark started his career as a professional footballer, playing for notable North West teams including Tranmere Rovers and Crewe Alexandra.  After retiring from the professional game in 1986, he went on to have a distinguished career in business as a chartered accountant with Arthur Young and latterly as a senior partner at PwC, specialising in business turnaround.  In 2003, he was appointed as chief executive of the Football Association, carving out a specialism and expertise in business and sports governance.  He has extensive non-executive and executive board experience, sitting on the boards of a number of organisations and businesses.

The appointment by EET Fuels marks another step in strengthening its corporate governance framework.  EET Fuels is committed to operating the highest level of governance standards across its business and committed last year to the Wates Principles – the corporate governance framework for large privately-owned businesses in the UK.  Mark’s addition to the Board follows EET Fuels’ appointment of Tim Bullock as an independent non-executive director in June 2021.
