Notable Cases

Martin worked with Grand Union Housing to prepare its governance documents and policies in preparation for an amalgamation of the group. This included a proposal to reduce the number of Board members so that corporate memory was retained, and the skills of the remaining board members maximised. Following amalgamation he provided mentoring and support to a new governance team.

Martin works as Secretary to a consortium of four Registered Providers that are developing large building sites in Cambridgeshire. The work of the consortium is innovative, and as such the corporate governance has required solutions that keeps each of the respective members satisfied that their best interests are being considered. Drawing on his experience, Martin is ensuring that the governance will adapt as the consortium risks continue to evolve.
