I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Mark while I was at Ocado. Mark was in the first team I joined – we started off as just desk neighbours but quickly became unlikely friends. Every morning I’d come in and Mark would already be at the desk to say good morning; he was the person who taught and mentored me in my role; the person I’d turn to for question for advice. One of the few days Mark came in later than me was Halloween, when he strolled in dressed head to toe as a vampire (fake fangs and all!) to everyone’s surprise and thrill! We had such a laugh about his incredibly spontaneous costume – it was best in the office in my opinion! Even when we weren’t working in the same team, Mark always took the time to check in and how I was doing and say hello. He’d have to walk past my new desk to go to the kitchen and MANY times I’d see Mark go for a cuppa and go to join him for quick chat. Mark was an incredibly kind and generous person who genuinely cared – when he asked you how your day was, he meant it. He was a calm presence who guided and supported others, always with a smile on his face. I will forever hold fond memories of everyday moment with Mark – laughing about all the packet soups in his desk drawer, discussing his upcoming trips or walks with his wife & dog, and his surprising knowledge of UK grime music! You will be missed by so many Mark, and the world is a slightly less bright place without you. My thoughts go to all Mark’s family & friends
