Nicola Martin from Tameside is Market Manager of the Year
NICOLA MARTIN, Tameside’s markets manager, was named the NMTF’s Market Manager of the Year at this year’s parliamentary reception.
Nicola is responsible for the operation of three markets in Tameside and is overseeing Ashton-under-Lyne’s £4.5 million redevelopment of the outdoor market.
She was described as “always friendly, smiling and approachable, with time for staff, traders, members of the public and the press”.
She was always in the thick of it, whether it was talking to contractors in hi-vis, hard hat and wellington boots, or tweeting about the market at 11.30 at night or seven in the morning.
