DISC's Blog
This Blog is written by Mark Weeding, DISC's CEO. Primarily written for DISC’s staff we have decided to make it more widely available for anyone interested in DISCs work. Mark is not yet a great tweeter, it must be an age thing, but feel free to contact him on Twitter or LinkedIn if anything here excites your interest. He is often out of the office travelling around the country networking, sharing with people the innovative and good work DISC and meeting our partners. Mark says, "I hope I meet you on my travels. If I'm not out networking you will probably see me cycling up a hill or climbing a mountain somewhere."
