Martin lives in Kent and is a proud father of two wonderful daughters. He loves sport (watching mainly!), spending time at gym, enjoying walks and visiting historic places and gardens. He loves to travel to different countries and experience different cultures though also admits it is just lovely when you can relax by the pool, taking in the rays and sipping a cocktail.
