This culminated with him being responsible for 14 offices and over 80 staff of a national chain of estate agents in 2001.

In 2003, keen to make a difference, Adam returned to Chandlers Ford to set about creating the Sparks Ellison brand with Mark. Since then, they haven’t looked back. The company has attracted a seriously talented group of individuals who form the Sparks Ellison team, all of whom have one thing in common: delighting their customers.

Adam has lived in Chandlers Ford for 37 years, and has spent 20 of them working in the property market. He is married to Zoë, who also works for Sparks Ellison, and they have a son called Henry.

Mark’s career in property began in 1994 in Southampton and by 2002 he was an Area Manager for the Southampton, Bitterne, Hedge End and Eastleigh offices in the chain and responsible for the residential lettings department for the region.

Meeting Adam was a meeting of minds and, together, they launched Sparks Ellison in 2003. Like Adam, Mark is devoted to changing the perceptions people hold about estate agents and relishes the challenge of his customers putting the team to the test.

Mark has lived locally for over 25 years and has over 17 years experience in the property market. He lives with his wife Tracy and their two sons, Christopher and Michael.
