Background

About Mark Grundy

I am a highly experienced Executive Leader, Facilities Management Professional and Executive Coach with over forty years of expertise and experience working in senior leadership roles: and helping to make commercial ambitions a practical reality. As you might expect, I have robust performance monitoring and strategic delivery capabilities: offering constructive solutions to even the most complex commercial issues, with a clear understanding of the core dynamics between strategic, tactical and operational thinking: challenging received thinking as a trusted and reliable board-level adviser. In recognition of this depth of experience, I have been appointed to several board positions: Chief Customer Officer at Axentia Group, Director and Partner with Ashton Consulting Board since 2020, and Director of MGGFM Consultancy from 2017 to 2020. In terms of strategic delivery and turnaround capabilities, on behalf of a leading charitable organisation from 2021 to 2022, I provided vital operational support centred on a strategic focus to deliver a successful three-year fundraising plan: implementing a rejuvenated approach to community development and fit for purpose management roles (with Ashton Consulting Board); and I successfully delivered a comprehensive review of facilities and workplaces for a significant dental practice (2021 to 2022): addressing a previously dysfunctional workplace and management structure, as well as realigning the practice to meet appropriate management, and health and safety compliance thresholds. I also conducted a root and branch review of facilities management functionality within one of the top five housing associations in the UK (2019 to 2020): including the creation, implementation and delivery of an effective transformation plan: significantly improving service outcomes and assurance standards (with MGGFM Consultancy); and provided interim management for the largest school PFI contract in England, including the creation of a cutting edge improvement programme. I joined Ashton Consulting in 2020 as a specialist consulting platform: working with a broad range of corporates, including well-established companies and SMEs, focusing on individual needs and challenges. As Senior Account Director with Carillion from 2001 to 2017, I created a series of significant business opportunities: consistently designing successful target operating models, and challenging service design solutions, focussing on developing and delivering an award-winning customer experience management tool.
