About Martin

With over 30 years’ experience leading operational strategy and transformation at board and executive level—including as Director of Operations at Lloyds Banking Group, RSA Insurance, and BSkyB—I specialise in designing and implementing high-impact SOPs and Target Operating Models that drive efficiency, scale, and customer excellence.

I’ve successfully led major process optimisation and integration programmes across Financial Services, Insurance, Tech, and BPO environments—transforming underperforming operations into award-winning service centres, while delivering significant cost savings and performance uplift.

I'm confident I can quickly assess your current operations, identify actionable improvements, and provide ongoing strategic support as your trusted fractional COO.

Let’s talk about how I can help you streamline, scale, and grow with confidence.
