Allison Pike and friends toast founder Mark Allison as he retires

Staff, colleagues and friends of Allison Pike toasted co-founder Mark Allison as he celebrated his retirement at the stylish Castlefield Rooms at Dukes 92 in Manchester last month.

Mark was joined by current and former staff, clients and fellow consultants, as well as his co-founder Greg Pike. Mark and Greg founded Allison Pike Partnership back in 1984. John Bray and Chris Gill, Joint Managing Directors, gave away some little-known tales about Mark’s career and raised a glass to him. Mark thanked everyone for attending as well as toasting the future of the practice.

Mark will continue to work as a consultant on a variety of projects but also looks forward to devoting more time to his passions for painting, cycling and cookery, and to spending more time with his family.
