He specialised in providing business, tax and accountancy advice to clients in the property, motor, leisure, training and recruitment industries.

As a Senior Equity Partner, he has been responsible for the running of departments, ranging from 20 to 100 people. During the last 30 years, Martin has acted as an HR partner, closely involved in recruitment and training of new joiners and qualified staff. This involved interviewing graduate and non-graduate applicants to the firm and also participating in open days for the applicants.
