Martin & Co have welcomed a new member of staff to the Web and IT Department at their head office in Bournemouth.

As the company rolls out their new online franchise proposition, the focus on the web has become just as important as the high street. Adrian Cole has joined the team as the helpdesk manager to assist with the existing franchise owners as well as the online agents.

Adrian has wide ranging experience, primarily in analysis/project management. He has previously worked for Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco, California before returning to the UK with Accenture, a global consultancy firm.

Adrian will be responsible for the day to day management of the IT support, Web development and ecommerce projects. On his appointment Adrian commented: “I will be delivering projects to a high standard, on time and under budget – which will ultimately benefit the franchisees.

” I have previously worked for large organisations, so am very much looking forward to working for a successful and fast growing business where the potential to develop is substantial.  After reading about Martin & Co and going through the interview process, I don't think I could have chosen a better firm to meet my criteria.”
