What people say
Recommendations and comments from colleagues, suppliers and managers I've worked with. The comments further down were written on LinkedIn in October 2026, when my ten years at Romero came to an end.
LinkedIn recommendations
“Knowledgeable, approachable and someone you can rely on.”
“Good manager with a sound grasp of the technologies and issues.”
“He isn’t a ‘yes man’ and yet he is able to bear the responsibility for the necessary improvements.”
From the people who used the systems
“Mark you were the ‘IT manager’ that broke the mould. Very personable, not afraid to leave the ‘safety’ of your office and very patient with the less clued up IT people (me).”
“You are a great IT Leader and able to effectively communicate at all levels especially to those of us who are less clued up on ‘tech’ stuff.”
“What a huge loss to the business and to your colleagues!”
From the IT team, suppliers and senior colleagues
“Thank you for everything over the last 7 years, you’ve been instrumental in making the Romero IT team what it is today.”
“Hats off to creating one of the best IT teams I’ve ever had to work with.”
“Whoever is lucky enough to have you will be getting a great person. It was an absolute pleasure working with you.”
