MARTYN DAVIES

The passing has been announced of Martyn Davies who many will know as part of our industry for many years.

Industry stalwart Colin Gale told Service Dealer, "Martyn joined Flymo Ltd as an area sales manager and his career saw him specialise in the chainsaw side of the industry, working with brands such as Partner, Jonserred, Sachs Dolmar and Husqvarna.

"Many dealers will recall Martyn’s support at their open days and country shows, demonstrating and selling products to produce incremental sales. He was committed to support his dealers, often towing his caravan and taking his wife and family to spend the whole weekend at the various shows.

"His dealers for the various brands will remember the traditional style of support, visiting, training, demonstrating, with additional support at weekend event. He also gave regular dealer support at the Royal Welsh Show.

"After retiring from the industry Martyn continued to live in the village of East Coker and had embarked on obtaining his Private Pilots Licence."

Martyn is survived by his wife Christine and children Ross and Kirsten plus their respective partners.

The service to celebrate Martyn’s life will be held at 12pm on Tuesday September 13th at Yeovil Crematorium, followed with a reception at Heylar Arms, East Coker.
