Being listed at number 2 in the 2015 Future LGBT Leaders List has been invaluable for the advancement of InterEngineering, which Mark co-founded in December 2014. The aim is to connect, inform and empower LGBT engineers and allies, and under his leadership the network has grown to over 500 members. Within his employer he is leading on a global inclusion strategy for KBR and compiled the company’s first Stonewall Workplace Equality Index submission. Upon the request from the House of Commons, co-authored with Alec Shelbrooke MP with a foreword from Lord Browne, Mark created the report “Engineering Action: Tackling Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia in Engineering”. The report received significant media coverage and was complemented with an event at the House of Commons in February 2016 where Mark presented the main findings. Going forward, Mark has ambitious plans and ideas for overhauling the image of the engineering industry. His work on inclusion led him to winning the Corporate Rising Star award at the 2016 British LGBT Awards.
