"Mark Davis has been my manager and mentor for 14 years. This by itself would get anyone a medal. His expertise and its application is second to none. Diligence, hard work, thoroughness and integrity run through his veins both in his private and working lives."
From Andrew Grizzle Principal Design Engineer.
" I have been fortunate to work with Mark Davis as his client representative for two different large Rail Consultants on two separate occasions. As part of project requirements to deliver electrical power designs for the ultimate client Network Rail, I have had the pleasure of utilising the wealth of technical knowledge and practical experience of Mark.
Throughout the projects I have worked on such as, Signalling Power, Points Heating, Lighting schemes or Earthing and Bonding,
Mark has played a significant part. This has either been as an Independent Checker, Lead/Principal Designer or as Technical
Expert. Mark has a very high standard of quality assurance and his support has allowed me and my team to improve our processes and procedures.
Through discussions with Mark, I have seen Mark to
have a very practical approach in the selection and implementation of design solutions that offer efficiencies and sustainable benefits. Mark is very professional and structured in the way he delivers his work.
I have learnt so much from Mark and have appreciated all the support and guidance he has offered to myself and members of my team.
Mark is also very active in his CPD activity and has attended
over 90% of all the technical workshops/seminars that I have organised over the last few years.
Mark is a brilliant Engineer, a great mentor and a lovely human being.
I and my company ASAVRAIL are now continuing the ongoing professional relationship with Mark and his company MLD Rail Consultant Ltd by working in collaboration where opportunities arise and through technical groups for innovation and improvements.
I look forward to continuing working with Mark and learning from his wealth of experience and guidance."
From Abdul Rehman, CEng, MIET.
"I was lucky to learn a lot from Mark on many levels, as the client (Linbrooke Design Services) on Signalling Power, Points Heating, LV, and Earthing and Bonding projects.
On a technical level, I think there are only few individuals with such a vast knowledge of railway electrical design around.
On quality assurance and due-diligence, Mark pays great attention to all his work, a trait that makes compliance, hazard logs, and design structure a fluid process and almost an automaticity.
I have used Mark's work as an example to instil some of his great ways of working in my design team.
On a personal level, what can I say, Mark is very likeable person, accommodating, and very easy to work with.
I highly recommend Mark to anyone requiring electrical design work. I am looking forward to work with Mark again in the near future."
From Othman Elkettas Senior Design Engineer.
"I highly recommend Mark as he possesses both installation and design experience making him one of the few who clearly understands what it takes to deliver projects on both fronts. I've worked with Mark across projects ranging from points heating to lighting design to earthing & bonding and on every project, Mark has shown an in-depth understanding and experience on the subject matter making design decisions that would make the installation process much more efficient and safer. Truly a pleasure working with such an knowledgeable and experienced individual."
From Abraham Alex, Electrical Design Engineer, M&E, Signalling, Electric Track Equipment design experience, CRE.
Mark gave me an opportunity to work in Railway E&P design.
Mark is one a small number of people who have immense knowledge and experience of the rail network.
His invaluable E&P/M&E design and installation experience mean he is an excellent electrical engineer. His calm and assured manner particularly in CRE roles prove to be a major asset to projects.
He has great understanding of other design discipline’s requirements resulting in an additional benefit to projects/teams.
I feel privileged to have worked with and learnt from Mark.
