Originally from Harrogate in Yorkshire but now settled in Warrington with his family, Martin is an experienced recruitment professional with 15 years of expertise in talent solutions across digital marketing, IT, and wider professional services and business areas. He has also led delivery teams (IT and Professional Services) and supported a broad range of UK and some European locations with both temporary and permanent recruitment.
Martin has developed a strong interest in the digital market and the hires that businesses may need to support growth. This includes areas such as e-commerce trading, marketplace expansion, paid advertising, and search engine optimisation.
In addition, he is well equipped to support various strategic operations roles, including programme office management, IT, procurement, supply chain, and customer/office support. He still enjoys hands-on recruitment and sourcing for niche hires, helping businesses find that special individual to drive growth.
Academically, Martin is a graduate of Salford University (Sound and Video Engineering), a field that remains a strong personal passion, though his professional career is best aligned with sourcing and partnering with brilliant people.
Outside of recruitment, Martin is kept busy running around after his two young children, who are in nursery and infant school. Their favourite activities include making crafts and playing hide and seek. If time allows, Martin enjoys anything creative—particularly music—whether it’s watching live bands, playing piano or guitar, or experimenting with music production.
