Since graduating from Rose Bruford College with a 1st in Lighting Design, Martin has continued to build his portfolio of work across a wide range of disciplines with a strong focus on dance, rural touring and site-specific events.

Based in Cornwall, UK, Martin has had the opportunity to work in some of the worlds most beautiful locations, from a farm shed overlooking St. Ives Bay to a sub-tropical garden on the banks of the Helford River.

With experience in technical management, lighting design and implementation, power distribution, health and safety and audio, Martin is able to take on many different roles within the sector.

Sowing the seeds of his professional career, Martin qualified as a RYA Dinghy Instructor in 2007. He then worked part time and in the holidays whilst at college before taking on a 6 month contract to the Helford River Children’s Sailing Trust in his gap year in 2010.
Martin then spent three years at university in London gaining a 1st class Degree in Lighting Design before returning to HRCST in 2013. In 2019 Martin took up a full-time position with the Trust and is now Lead Instructor.

A life-long sailor, Martin grew up on a 21′ Westerly before racing an RS Feva at Restronguet Sailing Club for six years. Never wanting to be far from the water, Martin is also a keen ‘big boat’ sailor and has raced as crew on a Westerly GK33. In 2017 Martin aquired has his own Sadler.
In recent years Martin has taken on the role of Assistant Moorings Officer for Helford River Moorings and has begun to expand his knowledge of marine maintenace through his work at CST as well as on his own boat.
