I was lucky enough to know Martin for 20 years, right back to the early LSTC Paddock House days in Driffield.

As one of the original directors, Martin brought so much to the business.

He was brilliant with clients, incredibly knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about his work.

He was a proud man, but also just a lovely guy to socialise with outside of work.

Over the years, I remember having plenty of heated calls with him debating & creating designs for the T&D sector.

I always loved those discussions because Martin never lost sight of the bigger picture.

He was an amazing guy and he’s going to be sadly missed by so many.

Thoughts go out to his family at such a sad time.

Sending my condolences & deepest sympathy.
