Martin is a BAFTA-winning, Emmy-nominated Executive Producer and Showrunner with twenty five years’ experience producing and directing large-scale factual entertainment and premium documentary features and series.
Martin has led numerous high-end productions for many of the world’s leading broadcasters and entertainment platforms, bringing authentic, emotionally driven stories to worldwide audiences. He has delivered for Apple TV+, Netflix, Channel 4, ITV, and the BBC, with a track record spanning both high-end streamer projects and flagship UK factual series.
Martin began his career on the first series of Pop Idol, followed by The X Factor and The Apprentice, before going on to series-produce landmark observational hits including 24 Hours in A&E and the constructed reality format First Dates, winning a BAFTA in 2016 as Series Editor.
Martin’s recent work ranges from immersive, unfolding observational storytelling to sports reality soap operas and premium, archive-rich retrospective series. He series-produced Becoming You, one of Apple TV+’s first UK factual commissions, before joining Box to Box and On the Corner in 2020 as a staff Executive Producer, developing and overseeing premium documentary series for major global platforms. These include two seasons of Six Nations: Full Contact for Netflix, the political and sporting saga Berlusconi: Condemned to Win for ESPN, and the Emmy-nominated industrial thriller Wanted: The Escape of Carlos Ghosn for Apple TV+.
“It turns out Wanted: The Escape of Carlos Ghosn isn’t just an investigation; it’s also a caper, depicted in re-enactments that boast the editing and cinematography chops of an Ocean’s Eleven movie. The series has its cake and eats it too, blending high-stakes, shoe-leather reporting with thriller sizzle.” Rolling Stone
