Breakout session speakers
Mark Bradley
Mark Bradley
Independent consultant and author
Mark Bradley is a consultant, writer and business speaker with a talent for bringing the customer experience vividly to life. An expert in customer service and author of Inconvenience Stores, one family’s testing retail travelogue, Mark’s work richly evokes the UK consumer experience in a way that brings a new objectivity to business.

As National Consumer Council research highlights the millions of pounds lost to UK business through poor customer service, Mark’s entertaining and imaginative contributions have brought him to the attention of the media, where he’s appeared on BBC1’s Are We Being Served? BBC2’s Working Lunch and BBC Radio Five Live. He writes for the Yorkshire Post, Customer Strategy Magazine and regularly reviews the newspapers on BBC Radio Newcastle.

Having enjoyed a career including retail financial services, homelessness campaigning, Spanish & Catalan translation and table waiting, he builds his work on a rich palette of life experience. And furthermore, as a former lead assessor for the Unisys / Management Today Service Excellence Awards and service excellence consultant, Mark draws on the experiences of pioneering organisations to share practical insights: ideas that really work! Once described as the Carrie Bradshaw of UK service, Mark continues the fight to raise the profile of customer service in his newspaper and magazine columns, while his willingness to work flexibly with his own customers has led to engagements as varied as presenting on a bus (during a service excellence tour of the UK), working as a feminine hygiene waste disposal operative and becoming a catalogue shop delivery driver.

He maintains that the low profile of service in the UK - and its root causes - explains why most customer service initiatives are doomed to fail. The answer, Mark contends, is by rigorously examining service experiences from the customer’s perspective and attacking some of the internally-fixated business conventions that have driven us to this impasse.

Most recently Mark has worked in football. His company www.bradleyprojects.com has helped the Football League research, develop and launch their inaugural Family Excellence Awards. He’s also worked with the Premier League, the Football Association of Ireland and several individual football clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers, Ipswich Town, Newcastle United and Huddersfield Town.

Outside of football Mark has worked with Land Securities, HBOS plc, DHL / Argos, Norwich Union, Hull University and PMI Health Care. He is a popular conference chairman with Marcus Evans, White Paper and Infoline - and currently one of the UK’s most popular business speakers. Mark’s second book, Retails of the Unexpected, a collection of essays, articles and customer service experiences, is to be published on 15th July 2008. It is said that when they finally throw the book at British Customer Service, this is what they’ll have in their hands.
