Q&A session with: Brian Martin

What inspires you?

Watching people grow and seeing them progress to the point of their own satisfaction.

What is the proudest moment of your career?

The day I first stepped onto a distribution pole I became the third generation in my family to do so (my son became the fourth). Since then, I have learned almost every other facet of the industry. Knowing what it takes to get the simplest and most complex tasks completed in a complicated industry gives me a sense of pride and satisfaction.

What you hope my legacy in the construction industry will be?

I want to be remembered as a competent and compassionate leader. Being a servant leader to those in my group, so that when I am gone, they will say “yeah, I really liked working for that guy”, and they can explain why.
