Goodbye, team #Vodafone. It's been a pleasure to work with the smartest people in telecoms, by far the highlight of my 30 years in the industry. I wish you all success, happy customers and better regulation.

I think you even beat my 17 years Mark and proof of how adaptable you are to changing circumstances and the value you bring. what ever you do next, you will inspire others just like you did us in VF. Was your goodbye gift a belt ?

Mark, I cherish the time we worked together. Your leadership is a fine example of what is possible that all senior managers should strive to achieve. Your calm demeanor, advanced business acumen, great judge of character and ability to inspire others is testament to the metal from which you are forged. I’ll probably not meet your equal in my time but I’m glad having met you. If you ever visit the NY Metropolitan area again I’d be pleased to buy you a pint and share some stories. Thank you for everything. I wish you best on you next adventure. Cheers.

Thanks Mark for all of the support, coaching and friendship over the last 25 years. Enjoy your deserved retirement!

Mark, it has been a privilege working with you, especially in those early days of VGE. I have learnt so much from you and admired your calm level headed approach when things got difficult on deals with Novartis, Sara Lee and Nestle. Wishing you the all the best in whatever comes next. Best Regards, Patrick

Many congratulations Mark on a stirling time. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you in Enterprise and admired the way you took on some of the biggest jobs in the business with such a calm and methodical approach. Enjoy what comes next 👏

Mark, I've always considered it a privilege to work with you and learn from you. Your leadership and fairness alongside such a deep level of knowledge were a benchmark few others met. Vodafone was extremely lucky to have you ! Wishing you well for future endeavours !
