Mark joined up with Niche in the summer of 2020, having previously worked closely with the company as part of his Key Account Manager role with Vitality. A small business owner for almost a decade, he is currently the owner and operator of GYM4LESS in Bridgend.

At the same time as running his business and working for Vitality, Mark continued to acquire the professional accreditation required to become an Independent Financial Adviser and will be looking after clients in Bridgend and throughout southern central Wales.

Mark’s ambition going forward is to achieve Chartered status, while helping clients achieve their financial goals with Niche. And to do that, he will draw on his significant and varied background that has included a career not only as a business owner, but also as a footballer – having previously played in the US, Canada and England – now plying his trade in the Welsh football league.
