A well known and influential figure within the direct marketing industry, Mark is currently Chair of the DMA's Data Council and was ranked 4th in Marketing Direct's Power 100 of Data Players in 2008.

Martin King - Group Sales Director

Martin joined The REaD Group UK 13 years ago in bureau development.  Promoted to the board at 24, he has been fulfilling the role of Business Development Director ever since.  His drive, passion and expertise within the direct marketing industry have been instrumental in the company's transition from that of a suppression provider to its current position as a leading Data Asset Management company.

Jon Hart - Data Development Director

Jon joined The REaD Group plc in the early days of 1994,  but at the time in a sales capacity.  As the company grew so did the technology required to run the business and its burgeoning product base.  Jon's interest in IT and his accompanying knowledge in the subject, naturally led him to switch his career focus. Today he leads a team of IT professionals, ensuring that the company continues to deliver technologically advanced products and services.
