Julie Mangion

Julie has worked in furniture manufactuing since 1985. Building on her experience, she joined Martina in its first year, and has played a major role in shaping the business ever since. Her administrative & financial management skills have been fundamental to the Company's development over the years. Julie has further developed her expertise to include the areas of production management, product development, marketing and sales. All of this qualifies her pre-eminently for her present role as Managing Director of a dynamic and growing company. Her boundless energy and enthusiasm are focused on Martina and its mission to work for the benefit of its many, satisfied customers.

Ian Howsam

Ian joined Martina in 2003. He brought with him formal qualifications in the form of Btec and Art Foundation in 3D design, and a BA Hons in furniture design. His CAD skills became an essential part of Martina's customer service offering, and it was not long before Ian added production and project management experience to his portfolio of skills. He now oversees the technical designs for a growing number of returning customers, and assists them with the interpretation of designs into manufacturing via cost analysis.

Joe Holdsworth

Joe founded Martina in 1996, having previously learned the skills of cabinet making at a small, craft workshop in converted stables down a Didsbury back street. Although it was not long before the machines took over, the early craft experience has persisted as a core value throughout Martina's development, ensuring an inbuilt respect for quality in manufacturing. Having taken a step back from the day to day running of Martina, Joe now oversees the business, leaving the future expansion to the team members who have so thoroughly proven themselves up to the job.
