A specialist in corporate career transition and outplacement

My corporate career transition and outplacement consultancy is often driven by leadership change, merger & acquisition, restructure, and strategic transformation. Other needs arise through international relocation, promotion blocks, changes in corporate direction, a face “no longer fitting” etc. I excel in supporting and guiding the executives affected in successfully steering their careers onto the next chapter.

My custom-made, high touch approach suits senior executives who seek a mentor, tutor, guide and partner, rather than a conventional programme relying on workbooks, intranet resources and group sessions. Nothing is standardised except the quality of support.

Whether you’re a CEO shaping your management team or an HRD dealing with the implications of cost management, performance or politics, I can empower you, and those you may be displacing with expert knowledge, support and guidance.

Interviewing

To avoid stumbling at the last hurdle in the hiring process, I’ll equip executives with the right skills to prepare, deliver and execute a variety of corporate interviews with confidence and composure.

Beyond career transition

Just because we have been successful in career transition or outplacement doesn’t mean the journey has to end. I endeavour to support my clients as they onboard, find their feet, establish themselves and beyond.

Client testimonials

"It's quite a daunting process, particularly with the economic challenges of the last 18 months meaning recruitment was quite stop-start; I’m glad I had Mark by my side. I recommend that, if you find yourself in a similar situation, you give him a call."

COO, Aviation Business

"Mark gave me excellent, practical careers advice at a time when I needed it most. He helped me improve my CV, raise my profile and generally increased my confidence when dealing with the recruitment marketplace. With his help, I secured a really good and highly suitable position much sooner than I anticipated.”

General Counsel, B2B Services Group

"Thank you for your most useful advice and pep talks, all the bouncing back of arguments and ideas, for support and cheerings, brilliant insights and putting things into perspective. Really paramount in securing this position was the way you have conducted our discussions over Zoom.”

Project Director, Rail Consultancy

I live on a farm where fly tipping is a huge problem. People were coming to a layby and dumping huge amounts of rubbish which was blocking my gate. The guys came and installed a covert camera and we left it there for ten days. The rubbish continued to be dumped. 7 Operations came and retrieved the camera and sent me the footage and a report which included all the number plates of the vehicles. That has helped me prosecute and I haven’t had to clear up any rubbish since! Thank you so much.

PT, Worcestershire

The team at 7 Operations conducted some surveillance for me. The report I quickly received proved everything I had suspected. At the time it seemed like the worst possible outcome however looking back I wish I had taken action much sooner. The worst part was constantly wondering what my ex-husband was doing when I wasn’t with him. The guys at 7 Operations were so friendly and were completely professional from start to finish and I’d like to thank them for giving me the closure I needed so desperately.

TF, Oxfordshire

Extremely professional and discrete. The service I received exceeded all expectations and remained confidential throughout. I got the results I expected and was grateful for the peace of mind. Thank you very much!

BG, Ringwood

7 Operations completed some surveillance for me on an employee who was claiming he was injured at work. They quickly provided me with the footage and evidence I needed to prove that my employee was not injured at all.
