Martin is without doubt one of the best PM's I have had the pleasure of working with! hard working, excellent communication skills, superb organisation and all round good scouser. I sincerely hope that I get to work with Martin again in the future.
Daniel Jones
Having worked with him for two years, I can recommend Martin as a tenacious and determined Project Manager with a strong technical knowledge base. He adapts well to new surroundings, is not afraid of a difficult assignment and has a wealth of experience in a number of different organisations to draw upon. On top of this, I always got the impression that team members wanted to deliver the goods for him. This is because his behaviours and communication style are honest and pragmatic. In short, Martin is one of the 'good guys' and I hope to work with him again in the future.
