I was shocked and saddened to hear the news of Martin's passing. I was fortunate to have worked with him on many occasions over the years at UWE. He was always so lovely to everyone, very supportive and great at acknowledging the work you had done, and he had a great approach of dealing with things so calmly. He always made time to talk to people and take a genuine interest in them. His love of spending time with his family and his dogs was clear. Sending heartfelt sympathy to his family at this difficult time.
