More About Mark Maciver
As well as offering volunteering, apprenticeships and paid positions in his barbershop, Mark Maciver runs a runner scheme which helps support people aged 13-16 whilst imparting guidance for bettering their future. He also runs a SliderCuts masterclass and mini masterclass. They explore the fundamentals of being a successful barber and businessperson, providing essential tips and tricks to succeed in business.
One aspect of his career that Mark really appreciates is how comfortable the customer feels with them. They often talk about their difficulties, such as financial problems, and he believes “we all struggle at times in our lives, so I’m happy I can help in some way. Even if it’s just to listen.” He has since partnered with Mastercard for their “Nobody in the Dark” campaign, which helps the digitally and financially excluded.
