Mark Lawson

Mark moved to Durham in 2005 to study Engineering, and since graduating has worked across engineering, research, and technology. These days he focusses on business, technology, and launching new products and companies. He joined the leadership team in 2016.

At home, Mark and his wife Heather have four children and a lively menagerie — Tabasco (dog), Jupiter (cat), and an ever growing collection of small pets including rats and guinea pigs. As a family they love to undertake long distance cycle tours, get outdoors, and spend time playing board games. When he finds a quiet moment, Mark also enjoys building things, reading and trying to keep fit.
