Martin serves as Chairman and Chief Executive of Thomas International. He is responsible for moving Thomas towards its goal of being the leading international provider of on-demand behavioral assessment solutions.
Martin completed his first Thomas Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) at the age of 15 but it wasn’t until 1991 that he joined the Company. He became Thomas International’s top sales consultant in less than two years and was made Sales Team Leader (West London) shortly afterwards. In 1998, Martin opened Thomas’ Central London Office on Bond Street and later that year was promoted to UK Sales Director.
In 2000, Martin became Managing Director of Thomas International UK. In addition to building a more efficient sales force and growing revenue, he was pivotal in raising Thomas’ position within the academic community. His efforts led to Thomas International and the Thomas PPA becoming recognized by the British Psychological Society (BPS). While Managing Director, Martin was also instrumental in working with the Company’s international distributor network to increase visibility and awareness of the Thomas International brand around the world.
Martin became Chairman of Thomas International UK in 2005. In October 2007, he assumed dual responsibilities as Chairman and Chief Executive.
Martin began his career in sales with G-Plan Furniture in High Wycombe. He later joined Mann & Co (now Hambros Countrywide) as a Junior Negotiator and was promoted to Manager within a year. By his own admission, Martin’s experience as a residential estate agent provided him with excellent insight into human behavior.
Martin is a founding member and current Chair of the Business Test Publishers Association (BTPA). The BTPA is a group of 14 leading UK test publishers working together to increase commercial applications of testing while improving testing standards. Martin is a Fellow of the Institute of Directors (IOD).
