Our People
Over the last 35 years Martec Engineering have assembled a dedicated team of people with a wide range of specialisms and expertise. Ranging from fabricators and painters to production planning experts and designers, our people are encouraged and supported to realise their potential.
We believe continuous Investment in technology and machinery is worthless without investing the same in developing our people.
Martec provide our workforce with the resources and support to allow them to develop their skills and ideas and improve the products and services we pride ourselves on delivering.
Embracing the beauty of diversity, fostering equality, and championing inclusion are the cornerstones of our ethos. We believe in creating a space where every voice is heard, every perspective is valued, and every individual is respected. Our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion guides every aspect of our work, from the way we interact with our community to the products and services we offer. Together, we strive to build a world where everyone has equal opportunities to thrive, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, ability, or background.
In short, Martec is a forward thinking, learning organisation who actively nurture and grow ideas.
