    EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT (EA) ABOUT ME My name is Mark Maciver. I run several connected businesses, starting from my barbershop SliderCuts Studios, through to the SliderCuts brand and other related ventures. I have been cutting hair professionally for 22 years, and I have owned and operated my barbershop since October 2018, meaning the shop has been running for just over seven years. Over the years, I have cut hair for a wide range of well known individuals, including Anthony Joshua, Janet Jackson, LeBron James, Stormzy, Tinie Tempah, Reggie Yates, Nelly, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Letitia Wright, Damson Idris, Ludacris, Big Sean, and many others. I have appeared in advertising campaigns and TV adverts with global companies such as Facebook and Nike, and have featured on billboard campaigns across the UK with iZettle and Facebook. I have also worked on campaigns with Reebok, Adidas, Instagram, and other brands. My work and business journey have been featured in publications including GQ, Esquire, ES Magazine, BuzzFeed, and Time Out, to name a few. I am the author of a book titled Shaping Up Culture, and I am currently writing another book.
