Building Excellence in Education – Mark Knowles Joins Archer

Mark’s experience is broad and highly specialised: from diagnosing building defects and conducting detailed condition surveys, to shaping refurbishment projects from concept through completion. He also leads on design, tendering, procurement, contract administration and project management — all with a focus on clear communication and strong client relationships.

So, why us ? “I was impressed by Archer’s collaborative, forward-thinking culture and commitment to high-quality service,” Mark explains. “Joining the team felt like a natural next step — a place where I can apply my skills to make a real difference for clients in the education sector.”

At Archer, Mark will help translate complex building challenges into actionable solutions, ensuring schools and colleges operate safely, efficiently and sustainably. His hands-on approach and eye for detail mean clients can trust their premises are in expert hands.

Outside of work, Mark is a devoted dad to two boys. When he can, he enjoys playing squash and football or exploring the countryside — a reflection of his energy, enthusiasm and proactive approach, both in life and at work.

We’re thrilled to have Mark on board. His appointment is another step in growing our team in alignment with Archer Building Consultancy's mission to deliver exceptional premises management consultancy exclusively for the education sector. We look forward to the impact he’ll make for our clients.
