Mark is one of two founding directors of Ellington Savage, www.ellingtonsavage.com.au
, an international search firm established in 1993 and in 2019 founded EnvoyGolf.
Playing golf for more years than he cares to remember he is a member of one of the worlds top ranked courses, New South Wales Golf Club at La Perouse. This interest in golf and membership at New South Wales Golf Club led to his applying his broader recruitment industry experience within the golf industry recruiting the then titled Green Keeper in 1989.
Since then, he has been involved in every senior appointment at New South Wales Golf Club; three General Managers, three Golf Managers/Director of Golf, Head Professional, a couple of Head Chefs, F&B Manager, Finance Manager/Assistant General Manager and after 29 years the current Course Superintendent.
This work led to being referred into other clubs, recruiting some of the most senior roles at a number of golf clubs in Sydney; including The Australian, Manly, Bonnie Doon, Royal Sydney and Terrey Hills. Most of this work has involved tapping into, and recruiting out of offshore markets in North America, the UK, Europe, South Africa and Asia.
This international involvement parallels the work involved in the core Ellington Savage practice, which has sourced talent out of international markets for some of Australia's highest profile organisations in a range of sectors. It is this exposure to the international markets and specifically in the golfing industry and which led to solving specific golf industry resourcing issues from a global, cross border perspective.
