Technical Director
Martin’s entrepreneurial experience has provided him with an expansive knowledge of the business world. This experience has led Martin to work in a number of industries with the ability to adapt. Martin originally started his career in the motor industry and he soon had his own specialist garage that he run for 8 years before selling as a going concern. He then moved into the telecoms and data industry project managing multi-million-pound projects for major banks likes Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan. This evolved into a project management position with Gap Gemini a large company that carried out all the HMRC online projects nationwide.
Not one to stand still the entrepreneur in Martin decided it was time to become self-employed. He collaborated with a colleague and pushed himself to understand the building industry, it was Martin who saw the need to acquire businesses rather than attempting to build a construction business from the ground. Martin has knowledge in telecoms, data, digital marketing, the building industry and much more. His entrepreneurial drive is a key reason why he has been given the role of Technical director, it is his experience and the ability to adapt and learn new skills that the team believe are an ideal fit to fulfil the role.
