’Martina has been my mentor and one of my best friends since she
employed me six-and-a-half years ago. She is one of those women who wins
hearts and minds. She’s as nice to the cleaner as she is to her
immediate boss.
She believed and trusted in me and gave me my head for business. I
remember the first time I met her, at a job interview, I was told I had
to sell myself in 20 minutes. When my time was up, I said, ’I look
forward to seeing you in my second interview.’
’Martina was the innovator of Party in the Park and was really respected
by everyone who worked closely with her, but that didn’t ever stop her
from being a human being.’
