Working collaboratively across all functions and across Lotus’ global network of facilities and expertise, Mark’s role is to lead the team in growing the consultancy business. This is a key pillar of Vision80, the strategic plan which is guiding the transformation of Lotus as it moves towards its 80th anniversary in 2028.

Mark and the team are ensuring that third-party customers across multiple mobility sectors benefit from the capabilities of Lotus Engineering in design and concept engineering, control systems, product attributes, vehicle integration and other advanced technologies.

Key to this is the commercial opportunity presented by Lotus’ four all-new and proprietary advanced vehicle architectures, three of which are dedicated to EVs. In addition, the innovative and lightweight bonded extruded aluminium ‘legacy’ platform – on which the Elise, Exige and Evora were built – remains fully viable.

With more than 20 years of front-line leadership experience across commercial, corporate, strategic, technical and operational engineering environments, Mark’s background makes him the perfect leader to determine and deploy the future strategy for the consultancy division.

He is currently in his second term with Lotus, having re-joined the business from Aston Martin in 2018. Most recently he has served as Director of Corporate Planning at Lotus, and prior to that was Director of Programme Management. Mark was previously employed at Lotus from 2002-2005 as a Senior Project Engineer within the consultancy.
