Introducing Mark Howe - UK Sales Manager, Onedrywash

Mark Howe, UK Sales Manager, Onedrywash

My role is to look after our existing customers and further develop our relationships with them, whilst searching our new potential markets and growing the business in those areas. As this business develops, it is hoped I will be able to develop a sales team to support this.

Having qualified in IT at DeMontfort University in Leicester, I did the honourable thing and tried a career in IT at the British Library. It didn't take long for me to realise that I wasn't going to fit in with the IT crowd, so I headed for the sales world. Having cut my teeth as a door to door insurance salesman, I soon joined the world of Reg Vardy in car sales - not a bad job if you like 7 days a week, 12 plus hours a day and limited holidays. I went on to join Andrew Page selling parts to the motor industry before joining Pro-Align as a sales manager for garage equipment. 11 years ago I joined Autoglass as a business manager, I went on to spend time running branches - winning manager of the year, before becoming part of the
team that set up a specialist repair business within Autoglass. That's where I first met SJ, and some would say it was only a matter of time. None of my colleagues were really surprised when I announced that I would be joining Onedrywash.

Outside work, my family is very important to me. I have been married to Jo for almost 13 years and have 2 wonderful children - Lauren who is almost 12 and Ben who is 9. Any spare time not taken up running the kids to their various clubs and activities is taken up with rugby. I coach at Doncaster Knights and help out with the local school team as well as being a season ticket holder at Leeds Rhinos.
