Mark Alder – Director

For company director Mark Alder marketing is a long held passion that started working with his family business while still at school. A fascination for the machinations of marketing led him to chase marketing and sales opportunities.

His first job was fleet car sales and it was educational but selling cars was not the long-term career path he was after however, it did ignite his interest in sales positions.

He finished his higher education at Swinburne University specializing in marketing and sales and worked for many years selling capital equipment in sales management roles.

Once he understood sales it was time to move onto a marketing position, which he honed in the electrical industry with Schneider Electric.

Over a number of years he gathered a wide range of skills with events and conference planning, branding, communications, product launches, catalogue development, channel marketing and project management.

So armed with significant sales and marketing experience it was time to bind the two together within his own company to allow him to draw upon them to assist companies when and where he was needed.
