Earlier this year our friend and colleague, Mark Ellis sadly passed away after a period battling with bone marrow cancer. Mark was a highly respected and well regarded Chartered Surveyor, RICS Registered Valuer and certified expert in his field having been with Pinders for over 40 years, boy to man. Mark was more than just the Chairman, he was Pinders, and for those who had the fortune to work with him would have been in awe of his intellect, thoroughness, attention to detail, sharp wit and incredibly dry sense of humour. Mark will be, and is, sadly missed. In honour of him eleven of his colleagues are undertaking the Macmillian Cancer Trust Wye Valley Mighty Hike on Saturday 9 September. Thank you for reading and we hope you can contribute to our fundraising and support this great charity.
