Mark Brodermann - After finishing a Business degree Mark left the world of commerce and took a commission in the Army. One of his final roles was as the ADC to the Chief of the General Staff the professional head of the Army. This not only took him to 22 countries in two years but confirmed to him the importance of ‘planning, planning and then more planning’. This disciplined approach was proven again when after joining Whitbread he held a number of senior Management positions in the retail division where he managed one of their largest Pub, Bar and Hotel portfolios. He was then charged with setting up a new retail division with a remit to develop new town centre ‘eating and drinking experiences’. Leaving the leisure industry he became Chief Operations Officer of a global training and consultancy company with clients that included UBS Warburg, Hewlett Packard and Orange. He was subsequently headhunted to become an Executive Director of Priory Healthcare where he managed acute hospitals and a turnover of £40 million.
Mark is a keen photographer and a ‘keep fit’ cyclist….but not at the same time.
