Director of Think F.A.S.T Academy
Martin is a former professional boxer and currently works as both a professional and amateur boxing trainer. Alongside his wife and co-founder Gemma, he conceived the idea for Think F.A.S.T in 2008, though they had to put the initiative on hold due to his boxing career.
Having experienced the challenges of being a hard-to-reach young person himself, Martin is deeply passionate about helping others in similar situations. He recognized gaps in the support available for young people and believed that an initiative like Think F.A.S.T could have made a significant difference during his own struggles.
In 2011, Martin pursued further education, qualifying as a young worker, and completed a mentoring course in 2012 to enhance his ability to support young people effectively. His transformative journey through boxing and mindset change has fuelled his commitment to guide young people, helping them learn from his experiences and mistakes.
