Mark A. Bishop

Born in Melbourne, Australia with grandparents initially from Manchester, England, a young Mark A. Bishop always knew he was destined to make a difference. His chosen career as a Radio & T.V. broadcaster/presenter in his early career years, have given him a strong insight into the media arena needed for his future sales and marketing career.

As the pioneer in Australia in the late 1970’s of what was then “early timeshare”, he had successfully, before its time, sold out four resorts for his then partner and pioneer developer, Neville Kay. After the tragic death of a young Neville in a helicopter crash, Mark pursued his knowledge within this fledgling but “evolving” industry and went to America, to refine his knowledge and skills and “to take on the best of the best”.

He enjoyed a very successful and award winning tenure with some of the biggest privately held companies in the U.S.A. and later experienced first hand, the Brand entry into the Vacation Ownership industry with his very successful launch of “ Welcome to Starwood ” seminars in the U.S. He was later lured away from this global hospitality giant to set up the first “Mixed Use” gated estate incorporating a Private Residence Club in Puerto Penasco, Mexico.

Recently a Project Director for their flagship resort, Flynns Beach in Port Macquarie, Australia; Wyndham Vacation Resorts brought Mark, his American wife Nancy and son Ryan back to Australia to spearhead the project.
During his tenure, it was not only the most successful revenue earner for the growing network of Trendwest club resorts in the South Pacific, but earned him his status as the #1 Project Director in all performance areas measured.

Mark and Nancy believe that the burgeoning Proportionate/Fractional  industry has a lot to offer in ‘Lifestyle & Recreational Real Estate’ within the South Pacific. They designed and structured a new mixed resort project in Vanuatu and are currently working on a master planned resort village development in New Zealand.

Nancy Bishop

Originally from the United States, Nancy was born in New York. She later moved to Arizona where she attended the University of Arizona, in Tucson, Arizona.

She spent over 12 years in “Corporate America” with an International company known as Dun & Bradstreet. She began her career with them as a Business Analyst, interviewing business owners, gathering and analysing their financial information. She later was promoted to a Divisional Manager and was responsible for managing a team of analysts. Her team was the highest achieving team and consistently surpassed all company objectives. During the last five years of her career with Dun & Bradstreet, she was appointed Northwest Regional Trainer. She was responsible for 6 states and designed, implemented and facilitated a myriad of training programs for both analysts and front line management. Programs included: selling skills, coaching for improved work performance and targeted hiring programs.

Her 12 year career with Dun & Bradstreet took her from Arizona, to Oregon, Washington, and lastly California.

After having her son Ryan, she went to work as an independent contractor for a large California telecommunications company called General Telephone and Electric (GTE). Desperately wanting to be a stay-at-home mom, she worked in sales out of her house. She was approached to head up a new division for them and she continued in a managerial capacity with them until moving back to Arizona.

Once again, trying to be a stay-at-home mom, she became a very successful entrepreneur in an international networking company. Working from home, she grew her business in over 12 countries and recruited and trained a large international organization.

She met her current husband, partner and soul mate, Australian born Mark, while travelling on a cruise. As he resided in Australia, they made some life changing decisions together. They began their journey together and have never looked back.

She continues to maintain her family priorities and works with her husband Mark in all current projects.
