Memories of Mark Barlow 

Mark worked for Natl Amusements UK Ltd for 33 years,  well liked and respected amongst his peers, and the wider industry.  All that have met Mark will be able to recall some moment with him that would make you smile, he certainly had a sense of humour.   

We would like to remember these happy moments and memories, and as such invite you to leave your stories and ‘appropriate’ photos, that we can share with Mark’s family.

Thank you

I first met Mark in Showcase Leeds around 30 years ago my first impression was a man on top of his game immaculately dressed looking the true professional which of course he was. Mark was always straight to the point and very direct when negotiating or discussing service levels but through the years Mark …

Posting this message took much longer than I had orignally thought, Mark had been a daily presence in my life for approaching 26 years which of course spanned many mile stones in my life all of which was shared and witnessed by Mark who never failed to know just the right thing to say …

Extract out of my note to Daniel Barret on hearing of the sad passing of an amazing fellow………’We had the pleasure of knowing Mark since 2007 and considered him, more importantly than being a Client, but as a friend of the firm……….’ Mark had a cheeky way of getting his own way. We would …

To Mark – or as I referred to you as ‘The Boss’, and what a Boss you have been.  If we needed to get it done, then we made it happen, as long as your industrial size coffee cup was constantly topped up, everything was alright.  There was never any moment when we haven’t …

I have known Mark for thirty three years,all since he started with Showcase cinemas. He often reminded me when we first met,and we laughed that I didnt recall,because let’s face it,how do you not remember Mark. We have worked together through so many experiences,and though some were challenging, all I would like to think,strengthened …

Mark, Over the years, you were a colleague, boss and friend. What struck me from the start (apart from our mutual love of United) was how passionate and knowledgeable you were about our industry – which remained through the years, along with your support and trust in me, which helped me immeasurably in my …

Dearest Mark, thank you for always being helpful, responsive, considered with a great sense of humour delivered with ‘a look’. My best memories are of times spent in Bareclona, at one of several industry conferences where we would always be met with a huge hug, jokes, lots of laughter and great chats.  To Mark’s …

Mark – Understandably many of the comments here are from people who, like myself, met you through work – after an incredible 33 years at Showcase, it could hardly be any other way. But what shines through in every line is that you were never anything other than a good human being, a gem of …
