Our Team
Mark
Hodgson
Managing Director
Since founding the business in 1995 at the tender age of 25, Mark’s professionalism and understanding of client & market needs has driven Tremark to be the highly proficient & expert company it is today.
The title of Managing Director brings with it a number of roles & responsibilities as does being a father to two young children. In his spare time Mark is a keen runner and cyclist as well as an avid Leeds United fan, attending matches both home and away.
In addition to his role within Tremark, Mark serves as President of the Association of British Investigators & is a member of both the Institute of Credit Management and the World Association of Detectives. Mark is highly respected within the industry.
Described as a thoroughly good bloke in and out of the office, Karl joined the business in 2006 as a marketing graduate, and in 2012 was appointed Investigations Director, notwithstanding being an Everton fan!
If he didn’t have his hands full managing two collie dogs and a young son, Karl also has the responsibility of maintaining some twenty separate investigation services ranging from Bailiff Services to Asset Validity Reports. In addition he manages and maintains relationships with over 2000 solicitors and professionals within both the private and public sector.
A professional businesswoman, a mother and a key driving force behind the success of Tremark, Stacey is a reluctant attention seeker. She’s a tough negotiator, a former certified bailiff and a former semi professional ladies footballer who played in the National Women’s Premier League for Leeds United.
If you’re thinking big physical strength and aggressiveness…think again. Modest about her own achievements her slight build belies a woman who has gained a reputation with Tremark clients for her hands on investigative skills.
Having joined Tremark in 2011, Ben has risen up through the ranks within Tremark to become Karl’s right hand man. Not one to become flustered, it is very rare that Ben is presented with an enquiry that he is unable to resolve without the utmost professionalism.
Being Tremark’s self-acclaimed “cockney geezer”, Ben has West Ham United running through his veins and I don’t think there’s any doubt that his young son will also!
Moving to Yorkshire from West Sussex 6 years ago to be closer to her family was a relocation worth making for Julia & her Aussie husband. Choosing to exchange the familiarity of the sea for the closeness of the countryside, they have discovered Yorkshire fishcakes and hot pork pies, which Julia, describes as “deadly but delicious”.
Julia joined Tremark in 2012 and is responsible for fulfilling client’s process serving & investigatory needs, liaising with our field agents & investigators & finding solutions to the logistical problems the job often brings.
Emilie joined Tremark in 2017 as an Account Manager and quickly became an integral part of the Investigations Department.

Having worked for 36 years for the Metropolitan Police as a PC, a Family Liaison Officer and an Investigator in a West London Missing Persons Unit, Colin is well placed in the Capital as another of Tremark’s specialist process servers and investigators.

Along with his colleague Andy, they jointly form the central point of contact for both London based clients such as solicitors, as well as UK wide clients who require a specific, Capital based service.
Richard is an avid Rugby League and most importantly Leeds Rhinos fan, who loves nothing more than deep sea fishing, curry, travelling, camping & spending as much time as possible with his children. Richard is particularly popular on Friday morning’s as the ‘hot butty’ organiser. In more than one sense you might say that his role in the office is to ‘bring home the bacon’.
Richard is a qualified investigator of 25 years, who specialises in locating individuals & discovering important information about them. Such information might include their financial status and lifestyle as well as uncovering assets as part of Tremark’s ‘Pre-Sue’ enquiries.
Victoria is the most recent member of the Tremark team, joining our investigations department in November 2017. She has previously worked in property sales, even helping with the sale of the directors home a few years ago – what a small world!!

Brenda has worked as an investigator and process server in the north of England for over 20 years. She has a particular expertise in dealing with the most evasive of subjects. Modest Brenda is convinced that it is down to the fact that she appears an unassuming lady, but it is a fact that she does appear to be able to both get into places, and extract information where male colleagues have failed.
A ‘Cracking Yorkshire Lass’, born and bred in Bradford, Brenda is a proud mum of two strapping lads. She list’s coaching her young granddaughter into the art of shopping and swimming as her favourite pastimes.
Andy is Tremark’s ‘Man on a Motor Bike’. London based he is one of our process serving and investigation specialists. Living close to the Capital, Andy works out of our Holborn office using his motor bike to provide clients with the swift and professional service of legal documents that they have come to expect.
Prior to joining Tremark Andy spent over 30 years in the Metropolitan Police force rising to the rank of Sergeant with special responsibilities for missing persons and child protection. Andy’s professional background and his experience and knowledge of the locality in and around London is second to none.
Julie joined Tremark in 2006, after spending 28 years working in distribution for WH Smith. Julie is the company book keeper, office manager and the directors right hand women. She is loyal, trustworthy and very reliable, which is a good job as she pays the wages! Her other roles include dealing with security screening of new employees and field agents and organising Tremark christmas party!

Claire originally joined our investigations team in 2008. We are delighted that Claire rejoined the company taking a coupe of years away to focus on her role as a mummy to three wonderful children!

Emma is an Account Manager withing the debt recovery team after joining the business about a year ago.
Emma has previous experience in both Sales and Customer Service working for many different companies. When joining Tremark, Emma worked in Customer Services but has taken well to her new role.
She is also a loving mum and a very friendly member of the office, constantly happy and smiling.
Ruby is our much-loved office dog who comes to work with her “staff” Mark & Stacey, usually after a nice long walk down a muddy track!
She likes to do the rounds to all the office staff checking if we’re all ok, whether she sits on your knee or on your desk for a cuddle, before settling herself down as close to Stacey or Lisa as she can get.
Lunchtime is her favourite part of the working day hoping a slice of ham comes her way from someone’s sandwich!
