Martin Hallows

Professionally, I work in HR for a global medical technology business, and have spent all my career in large, multi-national corporations.

Outside of work, I am a husband and father to two children. My son has a learning disability, and I have seen first hand the critical role that expert support and services play in helping him, and others with similar challenges, achieve their potential. I found Phoenix by chance, at a time when I was searching for a way to give back to the community. I could not resist the opportunity to lend my passion and business experience to a cause close to my heart, and I’m delighted to now be helping the team at Phoenix to continue their impactful work.

I moved to Swindon in 2008, and our family is very much centred here now. I love to run (but often need to remind myself of this), and when I’m in training mode, I get to see a lot of the sights of the town on foot. Our family is keen on camping, and we love to be by the water – either sea or lake – assuming the weather lets us dry off when we’re back on land!
