Some years later Mark joined the Mastermelt reclamation team, a team he now manages. Mark continues to look after his own customers because he loves being hands on and helping them benefit financially from his knowledgeable reclamation advice. Mark looks after the South-West, Midlands, and North-West of England, as well as the jewellers in Wales and Scotland.
