Project 45 has been established by Mark, as he commences his 45th year in business on 7th September 2026. The project is a year-long fundraising venture to support the Memusi Foundation to mark this milestone. The aim of the project is to raise £45,000 and collect 45,000 pencils to recognise this moment.

One classroom costs £7,500 - this means that 30 children receive an education that would otherwise be unavailable to them - but your contribution means so much more than bricks and mortar. It brings hope and the promise of a better life for them and their families.

The business community across the South Midlands have been hugely supportive of the charities for which Mark has raised funds over the past 20 years. This coming year will see a range of events designed to thank the community for their support to him, through leadership seminars, quizzes and a rock gig!
