About Mark Bailey

Flippin''eck! Where did those all those years go? It doesn't seem two minutes since it all started back at National Travelworld in 1983. Royal Mail post a daily excitement, the buzz of the telex (ask your Granddad), fax still to be invented. As for email and Facetime. well that was something you saw on Star Trek. It's been a sales & media blast, with many highlights along the way. BBC Radio Newcastle/Radio Tees, Youngest ABTA Travel Agency Manager. Inspector and recruiter of independent hotels. Sales & Marketing Director for the UK's most respected Schools Tour Operator, STS Travel. Proud Director of HM Government's main event Agency for 15 years. Being "Dad", the old salesman within the World of Hotels. And finally a nod to my journalism roots as an Advisory Board Member for meetingsclub.com an online hospitality and venue review site. Fast forward to 2020 and I decided to scale back a bit and pursue a portfolio of Voluntary, Freelance and Consultancy roles plus anything else that gives me the chance to hear the sound of my own voice and that of Yorkshire's Greatest Talent winner Elle Coles. Check Elle out on Spotify! As a proud Yorkshireman I'm there if needed. Keen to help and "give back", particularly in a mentoring capacity, having personally benefited over 4 decades from some great managers and leaders - Chris Brindley MBE, take a bow. Don't forget! I'm also still available as an MC/Awards host, voice over artist and Yorkshire Brand Ambassador thanks to Yorkshire Lad TV! DROP THE MIC? NEVER!
