Mark Butterworth

Mark Butterworth, brief biography Born in London, but now living in Essex, I worked in the City of London in financial services for 40 years, including as a Lloyd's underwriter. I was a Visiting Lecturer at City University Business School. I have travelled widely, in particular the Far East, Australasia, United States and Europe. I held a Private Pilot's Licence for 15 years, I've flown a two-seater Spitfire and made more than 50 parachute jumps. I enjoy running, country walking, golf and salsa dancing. I have two grown up daughters and a Springer Spaniel called Arthur. Previous writing credits The Pearl River is my debut novel. I have had two non-fiction (business) books published, as well as numerous business articles and opinion pieces published in journals – and something a touch different – sports match reports published in my local newspaper.
