A chartered accountant and a member of the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland, he has served also as finance director of Kilmarnock-based charity “Partners for Inclusion”, an organization with over 300 staff and annual revenues of £8m.

Mark Mace, an experienced Software Engineer, with 24 years of experience in developing a diverse range of software across multiple sectors, has worked for such organizations as Keyfuels, Capgemini, Bet365, DeMontfort Fine Art, the NEC Group, and Next Retail.

He joins Continulus from Biomedical Data Solutions where, most recently, he was working on the development of software that interfaces with medical screening, imaging, and testing devices for the worldwide healthcare industry.

Together, Scott and Mark bring years of high-grade hands-on experience to our business which is instrumental as we continue delivering on our online platform the world leading courses, conferences and tutorials to healthcare professionals throughout the world.”
