After failing to have enough skills to be either a professional footballer or cricketer, Martin’s next passion was food and drink. This passion saw him work at hotels in Canada and Germany, before returning to the UK to have a family and secure a job as a contract caterer before spells working with De Vere, THF and various other independent properties.
Martin spent 10 years with the UK’s first venue finding agency, Peter Rand Group, where Martin first met Kevan Holland with whom he went on to spend many years working together at Trident Hospitality Consultants, the fore runner to Eventsplus.
With almost 40 years’ experience in the conference, meetings & events world, Martin is our key agent liaison within the Eventsplus team, managing our extensive diary of agent visits & other events, managing some of our venue accounts closer to his Coventry base and ably looking after our social media presence, all in between the first love of his life, Derby County Football Club!
