Retired Banker & Blogger
My name is Mark Sullivan. I left school at 16 and recently retired after a 44-year career. Except for a six-year period living in the New Forest around the turn of the millennium, I have spent most of my life living and working in London. I chose to retire due to health reasons but remain eager to embrace new challenges. In this blog, I will share some of these challenges and document my journey along the way.
There’s no good reason why anyone other than friends and family will ever read the blog but if you do find yourself here, I hope you find it enjoyable.
