MARK DRUMMOND
FINANCE
Born in Aberdeen, studied in Edinburgh, qualified in England, married into Glasgow.
As my finance career has bounced me across various organisations and around the country, I have sought out community sport and exercise everywhere I lived for health, happiness and friendships. As a jack of all sports and master of none, I am most energized and enthused in the multi-discipline setting. And it was a work opportunity at Glasgow 2014 (as well as persuasive qualities of my now wife) that drew me to Glasgow in 2012. As an East-coaster my first 30-years, I am now a committed convert to the unique qualities, spirit and values of Glasgow and its people.
While by day I lead the Finance team at GCU, I love to explore the art-splashed streets and open spaces of Glasgow thereafter. I was delighted to join the Board of Movement Park in late 2017, to provide my professional finance assistance in guiding and growing the charity. And ever since joining, I am continually inspired by the passion, dedication, care, ambition and impact of the team in promoting physical activity and serving its communities.
