Congratulations to Mark McManus on his latest promotion to Managing Director of Murgitroyd’s IP Services.

Showing a real aptitude and application for career growth and development, Mark joined Murgitroyd back in 2016, where he started in the international filing team, quickly progressing to Team Leader and then through the ranks to Head of International Filing in July 2017.

Mark became a Director in 2020, leading Murgitroyd’s Global Support Services team, and in May 2023, was appointed Managing Director of IP Services. Mark’s journey over the last 7 years has seen him work with a variety of clients on a broad range of projects, most notably in streamlining and automating the support services workstream for Murgitroyd’s two biggest clients. Mark continues to be an operational lead for many of our US corporate clients as Murgitroyd delivers on our promise to provide consolidation, efficiency, and cost savings on the administrative aspect of IP Management.

Mark is a great example of Murgitroyd providing both support and opportunity for ambitious employees looking to develop their careers. We’re sure you’ll join us in congratulating Mark on his new role, and we wish him all the best as both he and the business continue to grow.

If you or your clients could benefit from Murgitroyd’s simplified and flexible approach to IP services such as Renewals, Foreign Filing or UP filing/EP Validations (with integrated Translation offering), please reach out to Mark and his team.
