Mark Williams

(aka Mr LinkedIn) has spent over 19 years in the recruitment industry specialising in Sales, Accountancy and Supply Chain mid to senior level appointments.

During the last 10 years Mark experienced massive changes to the industry brought about by the increased use of the internet – most of which had a negative impact until LinkedIn came along in 2003. He realised that networking had become a dying art for recruiters as they increasingly relied on internet searching but LinkedIn was different, this allowed him to develop more relationships through online networking.

It became very clear that many other LinkedIn users were struggling to get to grips with this concept so in 2008 Mark established ETN Training - a modern training business specialising solely in training users how to get the most from LinkedIn.

Since then Mark has trained hundreds of professionals from a diverse range of sectors and has become regarded as the UK’s leading expert in this field.
