About Dr Mark Parkinson


I am a Chartered Psychologist and founder member of the Association of Business Psychologists. Amongst other things I am an authority on the psychology of entrepreneurs and 'high stakes' selection situations - especially recruitment to critical executive and management positions, and assessment prior to extensive and expensive training, such as in medicine or aviation.

I have an active interest in consumer psychology and have contributed to a number of high profile PR and advertising campaigns.

I consult on an individual basis to all types of organisations. I am currently working with Amnesty International, BTL, Brunel & Exeter Universities, NHS Staff College and the United Nations. I also work with Team Focus and act on their behalf with customers like Bayer, General Dynamics, Marks & Spencer, Pearson, John Lewis and Waitrose. Previously I was a Director of the Bluewater Partnership and Senior Psychologist at the Morrisby Organisation.

Other affiliations: I am registered as an Occupational Psychologist with the Health Professionals Council and am a member of the BPS Special Group in Coaching Psychology. In addition I am a EuroPsy Psychologist and a Chartered Scientist; and because of my contribution to military and civilian pilot selection I am a full member of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
