Martin joined Muscular Dystrophy UK in April 2021, after having been a long-standing and valued MDUK ambassador. Armed with an infectious positivity, he has been a formidable networker and influencer, playing a key role in launching the charity’s Move a Mile for Muscles campaign. He and his family have been outstanding fundraisers with their family fund, Hywood’s Heroes.
Martin has considerable corporate knowledge of the car industry. When he was diagnosed with limb girdle muscular dystrophy at the age of 23, he had to move from his job in the workshop to a less physically demanding role in an office. He joined Volkswagen UK, where he gained sales and communication skills. He has also worked in the IT and pharmaceutical sectors. You can read more of his journey in a blog he’s posted on his LinkedIn account.
Please don’t hesitate to contact Martin for any conversations about any new corporate partnerships with MDUK.
