Martyn Hedley (Patron) spent his working life in the City of London at Willis, a leading global insurance broker, achieving the position of Chairman in their Aviation Division.
Since his retirement in 2003 he spends much of his time in Cornwall. Martyn and his wife Amanda have helped organise fundraising activities for local charities including the Precious Lives Appeal and the Merlin Project, which raised over £50,000 from a 32-mile sponsored walk for Multiple Sclerosis.
Martyn is also actively involved as a Director of the Livery Companies’ Mutual – the mutual looks after the livery companies in the City of London. Martyn had the honour of being made Master of the Worshipful Company of Grocers in 2005 and is also the Chair of the Willis Pensioners’ Association.
If he gets any spare time his interests include the arts, local food and produce, vintage wines, classical music, playing golf and foreign travel.
His house in Cornwall overlooks Constantine Bay and he is horrified by the amount of waste, some marine but sadly mostly tourist–inflicted, accumulating on the beach. This has acted as a spur to his litter-collecting experience to improve the environment. He always carries a carrier bag on walks to collect rubbish.
