He has received the highest praise over his career, including the epithet ‘the Mozart of kitchen cabinet makers’. He is the founding designer of Mark Wilkinson Furniture and Smallbone of Devizes, two of the UK’s best known kitchen design, manufacture and supply businesses.
With a commitment to education, he was a visiting lecturer in Design Creativity, at the University of the West of England. Mark is widely lauded for his supreme contribution to design and education. In 2009 he was invested with the Fellowship of the City & Guilds Institute (FCGI) in recognition for his support for training and education in furniture-making and the design industries. In the same year he was awarded the medal of the Order of the League of Mercy (OLM) for his support of the teaching charity Dyslexia Action.
