ABOUT
Helping businesses and individuals achieve their goals
After more than 30 years in senior commercial roles, including over 20 years in Dubai, I established Mark Parsons Consulting to put that experience, knowledge and international network to practical use.
Today, through The MPC Hub, I work with businesses and individuals across three core areas:
Consulting: Practical business consultancy, sales insight, project management and executive search.
Connecting: Creating valuable commercial connections, supporting international market entry and bringing the right people and opportunities together.
Creating: Professional CVs, LinkedIn profiles and career positioning, together with original business and industry content.
Operating internationally from the UAE, UK, India and Southeast Asia.
Whether you're looking to strengthen a business, enter a new market, make your next career move or explore one of the projects within the hub, welcome to The MPC Hub.

I represent a select number of high-quality beverage brands — both alcoholic and non-alcoholic — supporting their expansion by introducing them to reputable importers, distributors, and manufacturing partners. While my core focus is on the beverage sector, I also work with non-beverage brands seeking entry into the Middle East, India, Cyprus, Australia, South Africa, and emerging markets across Africa and Asia.
