Our Leadership Team
William Martin
Managing DirectorAs the name implies, William Martin is the founder of Martin Precision. William is responsible for overseeing sales and business development and is committed to diversifying our customer base, whilst building and maintaining strategic relationships with key customers.
Engineering is in William’s DNA – his early engineering career started in the Middle East on very large projects such as Desalination and Power Station plants. Returning to the UK, his attention turned to steel-making equipment, eventually moving to the world of smaller precise engineered parts found in the energy, medical and aerospace industries.
When not working, you’ll find William running in the beautiful Lanarkshire countryside, training for the British Masters events. Relaxation is in the garden and when not cutting grass he can be found in the shed which has wood stored for any eventuality.
