Bio
Martin Lopez
Such a strange recommendation but important to me, at the beginning of my career I coached Jim's children (Tennis), after the sessions I would often chat to Jim and he would share his passion for personal and professional development with me, explaining books he had read and how they had helped him in his career. After one of the sessions I explained a weakness that I felt I had and explained I would love for him to recommend a a book that might help me. The next week he turned up with a copy of Dale Carnegie's "How to stop worrying and start living". If I am honest, I read the title and didn't think for one second it would help! It did. The time I spent with Jim was so important to me, probably around 15 minutes per week over the course of a couple of years, but it ignited a thirst for self development and improvement that has helped me immeasurably over the years. I can only imagine how inspirational it would be to work with Jim permanently.

Jim was a true mentor during my time at Sunrise Medical. When I was a mere graduate, his lateral thinking gave me the opportunity to kick start my career. He was always an excellent boss; supportive, motivating and a real leader.
