Turning ideas

I’m Mark Cross, an independent project coordinator and digital developer. I bring practical industrial experience together with websites, digital solutions and project coordination.

Ideas brought to life

From a conversation to a published book.

Years ago, I shared an idea with entrepreneur Shed Simove: a humorous cure-for-insomnia book based on counting sheep and numbers.

Shed later called to ask whether he could develop the idea. A copy of The Cure for Insomnia subsequently arrived, with a back-cover acknowledgement reading “In association with Sleep Expert Mark Cross.”

It's a small but memorable example of what I enjoy most: sharing an idea and seeing someone turn it into something real.

How I Can Help

Practical support, from idea to delivery.

I help businesses and project owners develop websites, improve digital workflows and coordinate practical projects. Whether you're starting something new or improving an existing operation, we can explore the next step together.

Approach

Lead the idea. Coordinate the expertise.

I bring ideas together, work with the right people and keep projects moving from concept to reality.

01Identify

Understand the opportunity, key goals and what good looks like.

02Structure

Build a workable plan with resources, combinations, timescales and clear roles.

03Coordinate

Bring together owners, specialists and partners to make it happen.

Let’s talk

Have an idea worth
moving forward?

I’m interested in conversations with business owners, project partners, creative collaborators and people with specialist expertise.
