So sad to hear of Martin’s departure from the World. I remember Martin as a quiet, unassuming colleague who was clearly dedicated to his family, his chosen sport and his chosen career. He was always a pleasure to talk to generally, and supportive regards discussion of work projects. I was fascinated by his quest …

Martin, such a tragic end to life, but you achieved much whilst you were here and were obviously loved and respected by so many.  I will miss our snatched conversations about cycling at work, as you were always so modest about your own capability and instead offered me kind words of encouragement, thank you.  …

I didn’t know Martin.  But I can tell from his photo that I would have liked him.  I was one of the first cars to pass the scene after the accident.  I pass the bouquet of flowers on the guard rail and think of the terrible, unnecessary loss.  I went up on the passover …

I, like many others at RSSB, have strong and positive memories of Martin. He was part of a team much respected across the whole organisation, and industry too. Whilst I knew about the cycling, I didn’t know about his secret food drawer at work. It raised a smile, which is much needed at this …
