After 18 years interviewing businessmen about National Insurance and VAT, Martin Ashcroft finally put his English degree to better use as editor of Industry magazine, and subsequently, The Manufacturer.
After a couple of years in Boston, Massachusetts as editor of The Manufacturer US, Martin returned to the UK to become editor-in-chief of Business Excellence upon its inception in 2006. Martin spends more time managing than writing these days, but he can still spot a rogue apostrophe at 100 paces.
When not at work, Martin can be found either in his vegetable garden, or at a Norwich City football match.
