With 20 years' sales experience in various business sectors, Mark spent 2 years in the energy industry working for another broker and a supplier.  In 1997 he saw an opportunity to get in at the start of the commerical energy de-regulation and launched Full Power Utilities in November that year.  Mark spent 5 years as a sole trader, was joined by his wife Dawn in 2002 as a fellow Director and shareholder and 6 years later hired the first two sales brokers in 2008/9.  In late 2009, with the company now being 4 people, Mark  retained the finance function and brought in a 3rd Director/shareholder, David Cooper to drive the business forward. This resulted in the business growing rapidly, moving premises twice due to growth and then with Paul Smith, an experienced MD at the helm since January 2018, Full Power is still expanding and proud to be recognised not only as a ‘Premier’ broker servicing the procurement needs of a cross section of business types from SME to I & C, but also as a fully fledged energy consultancy.
Mark’s interests outside of work, include tennis (both watching and playing) and extensive travel.  Mark stood back from operational involvement in June 2018 and retains a seat on the board. 

Dawn came from a legal background, working as a P.A. for several top London lawyers until she joined husband Mark at Full Power Utilities in 2002. Dawn ran the growing back office function for many years and oversaw the admin’ team from 2012 to 2016. Dawn also had responsibility for the implementation of systems and processes. Dawn's claim to fame within the business is that it was she who came up with our company name.  Dawn enjoys walking, spinning and travelling and stood back from operational involvement in June 2018, retaining a seat on the board.

David's business experience spans 35 years of starting, building and selling his own businesses in office equipment, corporate barter and commercial finance broking. David and Mark met through their mutual membership of a business network.  In November 2009, Full Power totalled 4 people and David was invited into a consultancy position at Full Power to structure the sales and marketing functions, starting in January 2010.  He assumed responsibility for sales, marketing and strategy, changed the direction of the business away from cold calling (which was soon terminated completely) towards both consultancy and referral only marketing and simultaneously created and developed the UK-wide network of introducers to generate high quality referral business. In July of 2010 David took a full equity partnership and directorship in Full Power and with the business now generating almost all of its business from referrals, this accelerated expansion and produced high retention rates. After 18 months at Full Power and with rapid growth under way, he started bringing in administrators to support sales and the talented team that has become Full Power today, began to take shape.  David assumed responsibility for compliance, TPI relationships and legal aspects.  Following near ten-fold expansion from 2010-17, and to facilitate further strategic growth, David was instrumental in bringing in Paul Smith in January 2018 and David subsequently stood back from operational involvement in January 2019.  He remains project focused in business generation and retains a seat on the board.

David is a keen chef and as a proud West Bromwich Albion fan, he is familiar with the concept of teams fulfilling their potential and moving to higher leagues!
