Martyn becomes CMI fellow
20 May 2015
Martyn Whalley, Director of Estates, has been announced as a Fellow of the Chartered
Management Institute (CMI) and has obtained status as a Chartered Fellow (CMGR
FCMI).
The grade of Fellow recognises achievement and significant expertise in management and
leadership over a substantial period of time.
The Institute encourages management development, carries out research, produces a wide variety
of training and publications on management and leadership. Martyn will be associated with a
network of more than 100,000 managers and will be one of 4,500 members who are Chartered
members. As Fellow he is one of only 1,800 managers who have received this enhanced
recognition.
Martyn’s role as Director of Estates manages over 210 people of the University staff, within over
13 teams – each with their own essential duties to ensure that the University infrastructure runs
smoothly on a day-to-day basis and that new buildings/ projects are delivered.
“It was an absolute honour to be recognised in such a manner and is an acknowledgement of
many years’ work as a very senior manager and leader. My first degree is in Civil Engineering and
the assessors noted that I had had immense impact on the built environment particularly at the
University where I have been responsible for almost £500m of construction projects since 2002,

2. with a substantial track record on delivering projects to budget and time. The assessment process
was very rigorous and probing and was an opportunity to take stock of my career. ”
Martyn, who is also a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), added: “The University is
essentially a small to medium size town, but we are responsible for all the infrastructure. That
includes everything from dealing with the waste, cutting the grass, maintaining and operating 3
private telephone exchanges, 22 sub stations through to delivering the post and keeping the main
buildings clean, heated and repaired.”
So how does Martyn keep on top of it all?
“I believe in treating people with respect; strong, identifiable leadership and inspiring people
through empowering them to take charge of their duties and encouraging professional/personal
development by mentoring and training,” he added.
