He has a strong track record in building successful portfolios and long-term relationships within the intermediary network.

In his new role, Martyn will focus on driving new business in the region, expanding Reward’s proposition and developing key relationships with brokers, introducers and commercial networks. 

Martyn said: “Joining Reward felt like the natural next step in my career. 

“The business has a fantastic reputation in the industry for being agile, relationship-led and genuinely committed to supporting SMEs. 

“What really stood out to me was Reward’s determination to back businesses that others overlook, as well as the team’s values around service, speed and delivery.”

“I’m looking forward to hitting the ground running and building momentum by leveraging the trusted relationships and experience I’ve developed over the years. 

“To be able to play a key role in further strengthening Reward’s foundation in the regions I know well is exciting, so I can’t wait to get out on the road and start making an impact.”

Martyn’s appointment comes as Reward continues to grow its regional and national presence and strengthen broker partnerships to meet the evolving needs of SMEs.
