For other meanings of Mark Warner see Mark Warner (disambiguation).
Mark Warner is a British independent travel and holiday company, founded in 1974 by Mark Chitty and Andrew Searle, and based in London.
The company originally specialised in singles ski holidays but has expanded into family and beach resort holidays. Its resorts feature crèche and baby sitting services. The company started with just one chalet in the Swiss ski resort of Verbier in 1974. Its summer destinations feature 10 beach resorts in Corsica, Egypt, Greece, Portugal, Mauritius, Sardinia and Sri Lanka, plus two in the French Alps.[1]
Mark Warner's childcare services were criticised in the BBC's Whistleblower programme in February 2008.[2] In the same programme, it was discovered that staff were working illegally in Egypt, using tourist visas instead of work visas.[3] The company subsequently apologised and revised its procedures for hiring staff.[4]
