Martin's Legal Services practice clients now number 640 and a growing number of Accountants and Financial Advisers are directing their (mostly intestate !) clients to his practice. Equally he is always looking to assist such professional introducers by reciprocating business back to them and widening their networking contacts.
His specialty is arranging Wills, Powers of Attorney, Discretionary Trusts, Estate Planning, Inheritance Tax Planning and provision of Funeral Plans and Probate services, all offered on a home visit basis, available at weekends too, covering Essex, East London, Herts and Kent.
Martin started his career in the Financial Services industry in 1967 as a Management Accountant in various City companies, implementing VAT and computerised sales ledger accounting systems, and also held Company Secretaryship duties.
In the mid-2000's, he spent almost 4 years as an Adjudicator with the Financial Ombudsman Service, specialising in the assessment of endowment complaints, before leaving to qualify and set up his own practice as a Will Writer and Estate Planning Legal Specialist in March 2009.
In July 2010 Martin set up his Business Consultancy practice to advise start-up businesses. In addition he provides a problem-solving service for young firms on any aspects of their working operations. This can be sales and marketing, finance, administration and accounting, IT, premises, plant and equipment, staff and employment, industry regulations and compliance, or business advice in general.
In 2011 Martin set up his EBANG (Essex Business Networking Group) business networking meetings, offering FREE attendance and spacious parking, NO monthly or annual membership subscriptions, NO closed shop, ie open to all businesses, featuring open mix 'n mingle networking, followed by an informative presentation by a business expert, and a business workshop. Not one single meeting in nearly 7 years has been missed, continuing in July, August, and December, when other networking groups may cancel their meetings.
He enjoys entertaining and informing audiences through presentations around Essex on the topics of Wills, Probate and Trusts, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Equity Release, Business Start-up and Development, and marketing through Business Networking.
Martin is married, with three children and five grandchildren, and currently teaching grand-daughter Iliana, aged 10, chess and draughts.
His hobbies are table tennis, playing 12 string semi-acoustic guitar, chess, cryptic crosswords and Sudoku, and he is fluent in French and Spanish, with once fluent German and Italian now rusty: a regular visitor to Madeira, studying Portuguese is now under way.
