Mark Mytton
Founder & Chief Adviser
Mark's career spans corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and advisory work - but what sets him apart is a genuine founder-to-exit perspective that few advisers can claim.
His journey began in financial services before moving into time-critical logistics, leading Citipost's regional growth and acquisitions across Asia Pacific and representing the business through its acquisition by Consignia (Royal Mail). He later joined DHL e-Commerce as General Manager for Hong Kong and North Asia, managing public/private strategic partnerships across the region.
In 2005, he founded a logistics business in Hong Kong, building it from scratch to a multi-service logistics and marketing execution business with rapid early-stage revenue growth (£10m+ by year 3), regional operations, and blue-chip clients. Over the following decade he navigated joint ventures, regulatory approvals, strategic partnerships, and multiple acquisition approaches from listed logistics and marketing groups - ultimately completing an asset sale to a global e-commerce logistics provider.
That experience - including hands-on due diligence, deal negotiations from both sides of the table, and working with both financial and strategic buyers - is what he now brings to clients. He founded Exit Strategy & Solutions to offer discreet, independent support to owners who want to maximise value, reduce risk and stay in control of their exit. He works with a small number of clients each year to ensure the attention and commitment that a transaction of this importance deserves.
Away from work, Mark enjoys staying active in the gym, playing golf and a glass of Rioja with friends and family.
A message from Mark...
Over the past few years, I've had the privilege of staying close to the action, helping friends and family launch, grow, and successfully exit their businesses. Applying my experience to those pivotal moments, and learning from the tough ones too, is what inspired me to launch Exit Strategy & Solutions. My mission is simple: help more business owners unlock value and achieve their ideal exit on their own terms.
I'm always keen to connect with other professionals in M&A, tax, legal, accountancy, business mentoring, management consulting, or financial advisory to explore how we can work together.
Likewise, if you're a serial investor, private equity, family office, or high-net-worth individual seeking investment opportunities in profitable, well-established private businesses - let's have a conversation.

Specialist Partner Network
No single firm can be world-class at everything. Where it adds value, we bring in carefully selected partners - typically Chartered Tax Advisers, specialist corporate finance teams, sector-specific consultants and experienced legal advisers - to compliment your existing advisers.
In many cases, your current accountant or solicitor remains at the centre of the deal team. Our role is to coordinate, challenge, and translate between the commercial, financial and legal workstreams so that everyone is pulling in the same direction.
For more complex or time-sensitive projects, we can introduce additional specialists from our network. They work on an independent, as-needed basis, under their own engagement terms and professional regulation.
