Mark Fairbairn - Director

I joined Bartholomew as a Cartographic Apprentice in the Drawing Office. I was the last apprentice to undertake this four year apprenticeship. This was conventional cartography but with a comprehensive insight and hands on approach to all aspects of the printing Industry. In the succeeding years I participated in the historic transformation of Bartholomew, pioneering a new technology called GIS. Having completed 19 years at Bartholomew, I left to start XYZ along with Tim.
