Martin relates his experiences in both Cold War and more recent hostilities in a hugely interesting and humorous way, and as a raconteur will also entertain the audience with his tales of the crazy world of espionage and security.

“I have known Martin for many years and have listened to him speaking in public many times. He is an authoritative and accomplished speaker on cybersecurity and the threats to the modern business. He also draws upon decades of experience as a senior leader in the RAF and in the corporate business world to explain his views on successful management and leadership. He does all this with great humour and aplomb, charm and modesty.”
