Message from Simon at The Bestof Market Harborough:
I'd like you to meet Mark - the man behind our latest 'The Bestof Market Harborough' highly recommended independent local business - FIGJAM SOLUTIONS.
When I first met Mark in early May 2025, I immediately warmed to his friendly personality and was impressed by his innovative mind as well as his obvious range of advanced skills as a domestic and commercial electrician and mechanical design engineer.
I asked him to write a short bio, (as seen below) as an introduction to the FIGJAM SOLUTIONS feature page because I know people like to know more about 'the person behind the business', when considering options to employ their services.
Mark Van Rensburg - Figjam Solutions
Name: Mark Van Rensburg (MIET, BSc, MEng)
Company: Figjam Solutions
Grew up in: Zimbabwe
Profession: Engineering Design & Electrician
Hobbies: Moto - X
Favourite Invention: Human Body
Purpose: To be Impeccable
"Life in Zimbabwe taught me to be aware, resourceful and gave me a deep appreciation of the parts of life we can take for granted in the UK.
The Electrical work gets me out of the office and keeps me active. It utilises different aspects of my character - deep focus, methodical approach and the ability to zoom out to see the bigger picture as well as the finer detail.
My mission is simple: To Renew our Future.
I do this by investing time, energy, and know-how in developing and installing renewable solutions like Solar panels and battery storage. These solutions will help generate a cleaner longer lasting environment for our next generations.
At Figjam Solutions we provide quality & innovation to our customers through our tailored and personal approach.
A Different Perspective:
Life in Zimbabwe gave me a unique set of perspectives & skills. I use these every day in my work as a design engineer and while working as an electrician.
I have a diverse cultural viewpoint which aids me in my problem-solving approach. It enhances my creativity and innovation in design. This broader world view and exposure to different cultures helped develop my adaptability and flexibility which is valuable in a globalised workplace.
Navigating the challenges in Zimbabwe brought ingenuity and resourcefulness to the table through real life experiences. I have a community orientated mindset with a strong commitment to ethical engineering practices & sustainable design. Social & Environmental responsibility is at the heart of my work and can be seen in the precision and quality of each design.
Moving to the UK fuelled a resilience & independence in me as I grew in confidence navigating new environments. I look forward to the future with new technologies but thankful for the past and the different perspective.
