Clare Wingfield
I have taken great pride in working for Martin at both i3Works and Projecting Success, where he is currently CEO. Martin is incredibly driven and passionate, and has a huge amount of determination to transform how projects are delivered. He has strong values and is on a quest to change the world for the better. He leads by example, listening to everyone and taking their ideas on board. He genuinely wants the best for everyone, building on employees strengths and aspirations, and helping them grow within the company. At the same time, Martin has been great company to work with, bringing his wit and humour to everything that he does. I'd have no hesitation in working for Martin again.

Always mindful of the clients driving strategy for its transformation change programme and the associated complex stakeholder relationships, Martin directs his prodigious productivity to achieve the best for all.
