About the Founders

MKL Innovation is a family business...

Honesty, trust, respect and encouragement are how MKL Innovation partners with each of their clients.

From an early age, it was clear that Mark and John were very close, from bike riding adventures, going on the annual pilgrimage to the family caravan, to mastering every console from the Amstrad to the PS4, they’ve always been together.

John is what we call an 'exciter'. He’s a real people person and has always been very hands on, pulling things part and building them back up into weird and wonderful things. Whereas Mark is the 'deep thinker', he has always been the one who loves a mental challenge, particularly relishing any opportunity labelled as 'can't be done'!

The IoT Bee

Introducing Binary Bee, our IoT mascot!

  1. We think in Binary! The binary here matches that on the ‘M’ of our logo and represents the ‘digital’ aspect.
  2. Our bee’s body is a cog and the bolt heads are eyes, symbolising the ‘mechanical’ and 'maintenance' aspect of our IoT. The antennae are for the ‘electrical’ (E) aspect of M&E IoT and our backbone is electrical compliance.
  3. Our bee’s feet are capital I's. These stand for "Innovation" which is the cornerstone of MKL.
  4. The honeycomb wings represent the IoT network, and how all of our sensors work independently but also in perfect harmony, connecting back to the stack (hive) seamlessly.
About the animated IoT Bee
  1. Our customers and partners are the bee’s knees, and we treat them as such. The arms represent our can-do attitude toward service. We always deliver.
  2. The body of the bee represents us as a team. Our culture is what makes us successful and we work incredibly hard with common goals, exactly like the colony does.
  3. The ‘Y’, represents the clear strategy that we lead with, just like the queen bee. We are always thinking ahead, and disrupting the sector.
  4. Bee’s are incredibly efficient, and are crucial to our food chain, ecosystem and community. They perfectly represent our drive for sustainability and energy reduction.
