Mark Pratt

​Mark is Managing Director of Consulting Solutions, leading the development of outcome-based advisory and delivery services for clients across Commerce & Industry, Professional Services, and Private Equity.

With a track record of launching and scaling consulting ventures, Mark brings hands-on experience in project delivery, change, and digital transformation. Before joining The Barton Partnership, he founded and grew a boutique change consultancy delivering complex programmes across retail, financial services, and SME sectors. He’s also co-created several technology-led platforms, including an AI-powered recruitment solution and a contractor community focused on learning and performance.

Outside work, Mark splits his time between growing businesses and renovating a 1700s farmhouse in Buckinghamshire.
