"Mark shows a real desire to listen and learn as he attempts to be the best sportswriter he can be. His work is of a high standard and as a freelance contributer he always hits deadlines. He has a top class attitude and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to a prospective employer."

"Mark has been covering Morton on a freelance basis for the Greenock Telegraph for a number of months. He is a hard working, talented writer who has built a good network of contacts and connections that have benefited the Tele. He has been a pleasure to work with."

"Mark is a very talented writer who always completed his work to a high standard. While capable of writing in a variety of styles, his ability to come across as witty did not go unnoticed either. Always willing to take feedback on board and use it to improve."
