When Marcus joined as Head of QPS in March 2020, it was the beginning of a whole new chapter, he would be my 2nd manager in my time at NCC. It soon became obvious how passionate Marcus was about his work with children and young people and how he always wanted to get the best from his service. He allowed me as a manager to flourish in my role and exposed me to more senior leaders. We had, as expected, some challenging debates/conversations at times, but I knew he always had the interests of our service and the wider Children's Service at his heart. Marcus was a true support to me in the last 18 months when I sadly lost my husband, always checking in on me and supporting me when I was having a 'bad day'. I have been absolutely shocked by his passing and I will miss Marcus and I'm sure many others will too.
