About TimeZone Business
TimeZone Business provides practical advice and support for organisations working across borders.
It was founded by Mark Mortimer, an international business specialist with more than 30 years of hands-on experience across over 50 countries, including senior roles at Shell, Hasbro and Kraft General Foods, as well as founding and running a business operating across multiple international markets.
That experience has involved working directly with customers, suppliers, colleagues, partners and organisations across different countries, cultures and ways of working. It provides a practical understanding of the commercial, organisational and cultural factors that can influence international business relationships.
Today, TimeZone Business supports professionals and organisations dealing with real international business situations, from important meetings and negotiations to stalled relationships, communication challenges, supplier and customer issues, and the wider complexities of working effectively across borders.
