Mark Marshall

Sales Director, Flegg Projects

Mark Marshall's entire working life has involved moving high-value, hazardous freight or machinery. He has worked in project management, operations, finance, sales, account management, commercial and marketing roles. Marshall's career began when he left school at 16 and joined a local family run transport company in High Wycombe, a town about 35 miles west of London, UK. Initially learning what was involved to keep a large fleet of vehicles safely and legally on the road.  

After a few years in, Marshall was moved into the department that was responsible for moving machinery from various European locations into the UK/Ireland. This part of the business also arranged the offloading and installation of the machines at destinations. Eventually, this division was sold to a local firm called Flegg Transport and Marshall was transferred a different part of the business.

Marshall's new role involved the organization of transport of high value goods and radioactive materials across Europe. After a few years in this role, the company was taken over by a large French company and things changed. At this point, Marshall wanted to move onto a different challenge and a job became available at Flegg Transport – working with a previous boss.

Marshall has been with Flegg’s since 2001 and has fulfilled several roles including joining the board of directors in 2007. During this time, the business has grown in terms of turnover, fleet size and number of employees. Today, the business (known as Flegg Projects) has become one of the leading contractors in the UK. Offering a range of services to companies looking to install, re-locate or remove capital equipment.
