Following the launch of the original NECAM pioneering moving-fader mixdown automation system, Martin led the development of the world’s first all-digital broadcast control room (BBC) and the world’s first all-digital recording studio (CTS London). Both Graham and Ian were key players in that ground-breaking achievement.

Currently President of the Innovation Society for the East of England, he is a strong advocate of growth through successful new products. As chairman of the UK Accreditation Service (UKAS) Policy Advisory Committee, he emphasises his lifelong passion for quality in test and measurement.
