“Martin joined our client management conference as keynote speaker on customer centricity. His focus on purpose, inclusivity and return on involvement brought a totally different perspective to our focus on key corporate clients”.

Amalia Brightley-Gillott

Managing Director, Family Business Place

“Martin was booked to speak about how brands can better understand consumer behaviour at our national conference but the Coronavirus lockdown meant we pivoted to an online Virtual Summit instead. Whilst some people struggle to have an impact on screen, Martin's keynote presentation was fun, engaging and incredibly thought-provoking. Our audience valued his real, practical advice backed by hot-off-the-press research and data. At a time when businesses need to truly wow their customers, I would recommend Martin to speak at any event - either live or online.”

A veteran of the retail landscape, his passion to do right by the customer is inspirational and his thought leadership in this area will undoubtedly pave the way for companies and retailers to truly understand ‘how’ to be Customer First and sustain their long term business profitability.”
