COMING SOON ON THE TONY TOKUNBO FERNANDEZ SHOW – INTERVIEW WITH LORD MAYOR OF BRADFORD- COUNCILLOR MARTIN LOVE

Martin was born in Shipley and was educated at St Walburga’s Primary School in the town, before later attending Bradford Grammar School and latterly the University of Nottingham, where he achieved a Degree in Metallurgy and Materials Science in 1982.

From 1984 onwards he worked as an IT systems developer before, in 2011, deciding that the great outdoors offered more benefits than deskwork and he trained to become a self-employed dry stone waller, which he does to this day.

Martin is now one of the longest-serving Councillors in the district.  He was first elected as a Shipley ward Councillor for the Green Party in 2002 and has served on numerous committees during that time, including chairing the Environment and Waste Management Overview and Scrutiny Committee for several years.

He lives in Shipley with his wife Helen and one of their sons. A Roman Catholic, he worships at St Walburga’s in Shipley and in his spare time is a keen runner (road, cross-country and fell), along with Helen and they are both members of the Saltaire Striders Athletics Club.  He is also interested in cycling and continues to serve a life sentence as a Bradford City supporter. 

Martin holds environmental causes close to his heart and is a trustee of the Salt Foundation and the Sir Titus Salt Charity. He has holidayed across Europe, Australia, South East Asia, the USA, Mexico and Canada.

He prefers tea to coffee, enjoys anything from Saltaire Brewery, Timothy Taylors or other local breweries and has no allergies or specific dietary requirements.

Since the ‘British African Entrepreneurship Journey’ (BAEJ) book was published in July 2022, much interest has been generated (and continues). Most of the buyers of this important product are EDUCATIONISTS/TEACHERS, YOUTH WORKERS, HEALTHCARE PERSONNEL, COMMERCIAL FIRM OWNERS, SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS, ELDERS, CIVIC LEADERS, PEOPLE OF FAITH, RETIREES, WOULD-BE ENTREPRENEURS, VARIOUS PROFESSIONALS AND NETWORKERS. STATISTICALLY, 90% OF OUR READER-BUYERS ARE WOMEN AGED 40-SOMETHING TO 80 PLUS. WE ARE EXPECTING MORE FIRMS AND ENTERPRISES TO ‘TAP INTO’ THIS NEW AND EXICTING ENTERPRISE BOOK.

It was also a profound pleasure for my profile and part of my story to be published in this fantastic historical & educational book highlighting some of my contributions to The British African Entrepreneurship Journey..

INFORMATION ABOJUT MR BUTHCHER CAN BE FOUND BELOW

Roland Orlando Butcher (born 14 October 1953, Saint Philip, Barbados)^[1] is a former cricket player and coach, who played for England in three Test matches and three One Day Internationals from 1980 to 1981. He is recognised as being the first black cricketer to represent England.^[2] His brief international career was somewhat overshadowed by the death of Ken Barrington, and the ‘Jackman affair‘.

A cousin of Basil, Roland Butcher had come to the United Kingdom at the age of thirteen from his native Barbados.^[1] He was an aggressive middle-order batsman, who represented Middlesex between 1974 and 1990. His intuitive batting style owed much to the archetypical West Indian calypso flair.^[1] He “secured his place in history when he became the first black player to represent England, making his Test debut at Bridgetown in 1980-81”.^[3]

Butcher came to prominence during Middlesex’s successes in 1980 when they won the County Championship and the Gillette Cup, impressing with a rapid half-century in the final of the latter.^[4] He had actually made his England debut two weeks later, impressing with another half-century on his one-day international debut against Australia.^[5] He struggled more however on the 1980-1 tour against the West Indies who had the most powerful bowling line-up in the world at the time and did not play for England again.

In 1983, “he suffered a sickening injury which threatened his eyesight when struck by George Ferris“, but managed to recuperate and return to the sport.^[3] He continued to enjoy success with Middlesex, winning the County Championship again in 1982 and 1985, and featuring in victories in the finals of the NatWest Trophy in 1984 and 1988 and the Benson and Hedges Cup in 1983. In 1987 he won the Walter Lawrence Trophy for recording the fastest century of the season (in terms of balls faced) against Sussex
