- I first met Martin while volunteering for a grassroots well-being charity.
We regularly raised money through street fundraising in various cities throughout the Midlands, organised charity events, and attended brainstorming meetings.
Martin's focused attitude, entrepreneurial spirit and innate tenacity were a great asset to his volunteering role.

- I've always found Martin to be someone who approaches work with a great attitude. In my dealings with him I've found him to be hard working and organised. I awarded Martin a "Start-Up Bursary" whilst at D.M.U because his business which imports niche meats was well researched and addressed a gap in the market. I was impressed with how he pitched the idea at the time and am happy to see that the business is still trading 7 years after it was formed.
