"The Town Council were introduced to Heritage &
Leisure Management by the Jurassic Coast team and Sidmouth Town Council took the relatively unprecedented decision to appoint
outside the County of Devon. This decision was never regretted. Martin Cooke undertook his role in both a professional
and efficient manner. His management style is courteous, helpful and friendly, putting everyone at their ease and engendering
a real feeling of a ‘team’ working together towards the end product. I have enjoyed working alongside Martin
over the past months and intend to recommend his company to anyone wanting a similar service”.
Trina Jarrett,
Town Clerk
Sidmouth Town Council
"Martin Cooke has provided invaluable assistance
and support to Bournemouth Borough Council in the development of the Hengistbury Head Visitor Centre project. His knowledge

We are delighted to have appointed Martin to continue to assist the Council and its partners in the delivery of the project
through to 2013 and the Centre's opening." Stuart
