Martin Catchpole , Technical Compliance Manager

Martin came to Integra via an unusual route, having begun his career as a stockbroker before becoming director of a company that specialised in electronic building security.

While at the security firm, Martin was in charge of the company’s marketing and Health & Safety activities. Before he left, he oversaw its flotation on the NASDAQ stock exchange.

Martin was attracted to Integra because he knew some of the team and liked our approach. He joined us originally to prepare Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals. His flair for the work saw him become our Technical Compliance Manager. He’s the person responsible for making sure that all the products we source and use are evidenced and documented, from plasterboard to timber. When architects or designers specify non-certified products, he is usually able to recommend an alternative – ensuring that projects remain compliant with sustainability schemes such as BREEAM, LEED and SKA.

Martin thrives on variety and is motivated by being involved in projects from start to finish. He enjoys Integra’s team spirit and believes that we stand out because so many of the team have hands-on experience of fitting ceilings, giving them in-depth knowledge that it’s hard to find elsewhere in the industry.

When Martin has a bit of downtime, he likes to work out in the gym, go on sailing holidays and enjoy both diving and cycling.
