Mark has been in the financial services industry for the past 25 years and still owns a firm of financial advisers in the Greater Manchester area.Since launching IFAPortals in April 2004 more and more of his time has been dedicated to building IFAPortals into one of the major providers of websites to the IFA/Mortgage Broker community.

Mark is now pretty much full time in IFAPortals due to him adopting a completely “hands on approach” he contacts every new customer personally, along with performing on-line demonstrations and telephone training-this ensures that he remains at the sharp end of the business so that he can listen to feedback and respond accordingly.

Mark believes his 25 years in Financial Services puts him a unique position when understanding the needs of IFAs and what they require from their websites especially in the area of compliance where IFAPortals strive to supply the most up to date compliant content available without the IFA having to worry that it will not be appropriate.
