ABOUT US: Who is Martyn Drake?

 

Having accumulated over 10 years experience in senior commercial and strategy roles in blue-chip, customer-facing businesses, Martyn founded Binley Drake Consulting at the start of 2009 to help organisations of all shapes and sizes formulate and deliver executable plans to achieve their strategic goals.

 

Martyn’s combination of excellent interpersonal style plus highly developed conceptual and analytical skill, allows him to quickly open up the opportunities within organisations, whilst building a trusting rapport with the individuals within it.

His naturally open, collaborative approach helps to uncover the true causes of issues and barriers to change, and the strength of his communication and presentations, whether to specialist teams, boardrooms or conferences, results in clear, insightful pictures that engage, inform and drive strategic decisions. 

Martyn's experience of delivering performance turnarounds at pace was gained in some of the UKs toughest retail markets. This means that his recommendations are always objective, practical and deliverable, and can be quickly engaged through the organisation for rapid results.

He also brings with him an extensive array of tools and techniques and a coaching philosophy that ensures the skills to use them are transferred. This gives clients the capability to monitor, manage and deliver their programmes without an ongoing dependency for support.

 

Martyn’s CV includes: Management of Retail Categories, Strategic Sourcing and Cost Reduction Programmes at the Boots Group, Head of Finance and Commercial Strategy at The Spirit Group and Director of Strategic Planning at Punch Taverns, as well as a number of senior Commercial and Marketing roles along the way. In his earlier career, he also held management roles in Product Development, Logistics and IT, and has a first class degree in Computer Science.
