About Mark Horner

I am passionate about supporting local business leaders and I am dedicated to help them set up their own Alpha Groups in their local communities, as this is the most cost effective way of helping them thrive. I am an Executive Coach and Business Mentor with a growing team of regional directors across Africa and America and beyond, helping me support ambitious business owners across the globe. I am a successful business owner myself with a long established specialism in database publishing for American Universities, as well as my own niche Architectural practice based close to London in Kent/Sussex England.

I am a seasoned networking professional with rich experience of over 20 years, with BNI building networking groups and travelling world-wide, mentoring and connecting businesses of all sizes and helping them achieve massive growth. I am currently ranked in the top 5 on BNI Business Builder. In addition I am a clear strategic thinker, fully qualified as an architect and accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects. With my Architectural Firm I work on a variety of International Projects, ranging from Business Parks, Offices, Development Projects, One-off houses and heritage projects. Taking maximum advantage from my past professional experience, combining business growth and strategic thinking, I am now pursuing my passion as an Executive Coach, mentoring SME Owners throughout the world to take their businesses to the next level.

I coach entrepreneurs to resolve internal conflicts, help them make aligned decisions and ensure they take action. I am inspired by the entrepreneurial leadership and “can-do” attitude, and believe anything is possible. I am keen to work with the businesses community serving their local area and contribute towards strengthening the local SME sector. Stronger SME’s means more employment in the local economy, after all!

If you are keen to benefit the other business leaders in your area, or you are looking for an exciting opportunity in the peer-to-peer industry to complement your existing leadership skills then please reach out to me about the opportunities available to you right now.

I leverage the solid IP of The Alpha Group to run monthly Peer-to-Peer Advisory Boards which are underpinned by Peer Mentoring, FastGrowth™ Projects, Mastermind Sessions and Accountability. I find it truly rewarding when SME Owners and CEOs work towards their goals knowing that it is not “lonely at the top” and that they can positively contribute to their own and fellow Peers’ scaling up challenges. Through The Alpha Group I have found a powerful way to reach more SME’s to help them double the value of their businesses within 2 to 3 years and to dominate their niche.

I am a graduate in moral philosophy, with a keen interest in how human development and business development inter-relate and I am currently finalising my first book on the subject which will be available shortly through my publishing company. I am a fellow of the The Royal Society for Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, The RSA, whose past fellows include Benjamin Franklin, Stephen Hawking, Adam Smith and Tim Berners-Lee. I am a keen supporter of Universal Basic Income and I am interested in how the UBI can help Entrepreneurs, and I am an active member of UBILab Leeds. I actively support local and global charities and help out with junior chess coaching. I love travel, meeting people, books, music, food and wine.
