After 12 remarkable years of dedication and excellence, Mark Stevens, our esteemed Financial Director at Fleet Luxury Packaging, is retiring on December 6th. Mark has been a cornerstone of Fleet’s growth, guiding us through an era of transformation and innovation to meet the ever-evolving demands of our global retail and brand clients.
Mark joined Fleet as a seasoned professional, bringing with him a wealth of experience as a Big 4-trained Chartered Accountant. Over a career spanning more than three decades, he has held leadership roles in finance across retail, wholesale, and manufacturing sectors, consistently steering businesses toward success. Known for his expertise in financial control, strategic redirection, and cost management, Mark has a proven track record in business turnaround, acquisitions, and driving value during periods of rapid growth.
Reflecting on Mark’s contributions, Fleet’s CEO, Mark Lowry, shared: "Mark Stevens has been an integral part of the Fleet team. His meticulous financial oversight and strategic insights have provided a safe pair of hands for the business, ensuring our stability while supporting significant growth.
