Martin Prescott
Director
Martin has owned and operated businesses in the commercial and not-for-profit sectors for over forty years, and describes himself as both a serial entrepreneur and an evangelist for private enterprise. For over ten years he was an FE college governor and for twelve years an elected Ward Councillor in what was then his North London home borough of Enfield. Martin’s Council focus was on business, employment and enterprise, and he chaired the award-winning Enfield Life Opportunities Commission in 2009/10.
In recent years, Martin entered the hospitality sector by acquiring two now-thriving country pubs/restaurants under his Nutwood Pubs brand. Despite the challenges of recent years, he remains confident that the combination of high-quality food and drinks with a traditional English countryside welcome will always be the heart of any community. Martin is devoted to his partner and their combined family of six adult children.
