Mark is an enthusiast for broadband technology, supporting the Connecting Cambridgeshire initiative to bring superfast and ultrafast broadband to rural areas in Cambridgeshire. As a Broadband Champion, he helps local people of all ages to get online and improve their broadband. He was awarded a volunteering award from the UK Prime Minister and set up the Increase Broadband Speed website to help people across the UK improve their broadband speeds and better understand the opportunities and benefits from broadband.

As well as running his own websites, which have attracted millions of visitors, Mark helps commercial and not-for-profit organisations develop their online presence. He has developed websites for team building company Creative Team Events (massively expanding its global reach) and youth musical theatre group Spotlight Productions.
