Mark Baines
Communications Director
My journey in the medical rentals industry began in 2003 when I embarked on my career as a Rental Technician at KCI Medical, specialising in specialist beds and support surfaces. Throughout my professional trajectory, I've primarily focused on operations, service, and repair. I held roles such as a Grade 1 repair engineer at KCI, a field service engineer at Permobil, and a Specialist Therapy Rental Team Leader at Arjo/1st Call Mobility. In December 2019, I transitioned to the Specialist Therapy Sales team at Arjo, expanding my knowledge of the manual handling field and honing my skills. In 2022, I made the exciting move to Five Mobility, a company specialising in Bariatric Equipment. Here, our patient centred approach sets the industry standard.
Beyond my career, I've been happily married for 18 years and am the proud father of two. My passion for Rugby runs deep, with unwavering support for the Leicester Tigers. I also have experience as a retired rugby player and coach, although my mind's enthusiasm to play again is in constant disagreement with my body.
I'm eagerly anticipating my role as a Communications Officer, where I aspire to leverage my background to contribute value to the position.
