"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
H&L have worked
closely with the Town Council and a range of partners including the Jurassic Coast, Dorset AONB and South West Coast Path
teams to project manage a vibrant new visitor centre. The project delivered from initial designs to opening in seven
months was project managed by Martin Cooke. In addition Martin worked closely with, Lam-Art Exhibition and Design, Richard
Edmonds, Jurassic Coast Earth Science Manager graphic designer Giles Sadler of Thorntree Design on the 3D and graphical style
of the new Centre.
Contributors to the project included wood designer/maker Karen Hansen and professional photographer
Ben Osborne.
An opening of the Centre in July 2011 was well supported by Town councillors, project partners and
stakeholders.
