Mark McCormack fulfills a very important role in today’s society where there are many challenges to families where both parities are at work or indeed single parent families where the parent is in employment.

Having seen Mark ‘s work and influence in this area, I can fully endorse his approach and I believe he can contribute significantly to improving and developing family relationships.
