Managing Partner
Martin is Dafferns managing partner, driving the strategic development and growth of the firm and helping clients maximise value. A trusted adviser to ambitious, creative UK and International SMEs, helping clients shape what they can control and planning for what they can’t.
My clients range from £40m plus turnover groups to small self-employed contractors and include UK subsidiaries of overseas groups, manufacturing, service, construction, consulting and software companies.
I lead the Dafferns Small Business Services team – leveraging technology and the cloud, with Xero and Sage accounts, to streamline the year end accounts and tax process.
I also have extensive corporate finance experience, including buying, selling and restructuring businesses, due diligence reviews, advising MBO teams and exit route planning.
As an accredited Mindshop Expert facilitator, I have a keen focus on providing strategic business advice.
I am a keen cyclist, both on road and off, clocking up about 2,500 km per year – all on Strava. Husband to one, father to two, grandfather to two I spend as much free time as possible in the Derbyshire Peak District, walking and riding bikes, drinking good coffee and enjoying technology and photography.
