Mark is our reliable and patient IT manager. He has been involved with EEA since 1987 and was General Manager of the company in the late 1990s. He also performs with and manages the Bollywood Brass Band and Crocodile Style, two of the longest running projects at EEA and now running independently of the company due to their huge success. He is a founder member of both groups (in 1987 and 1992 respectively), playing baritone sax.
