How's zat!
STAFF at the Taunton Office were recently "bowled over" by the arrival of the latest recruit at Somerset County Cricket Club (CCC).
Paceman Ben Phillips recently joined Somerset CCC from Northants. The bowler who stands one inch taller than Andy Caddick at 6ft 6in has just moved to Taunton with his wife and two year old daughter.
Garry Rowley, Managing Director said, "Ben arrived at our offices with his friend and team mate Stefan Jones whom we had had dealings with in the past".
Stefan has also returned to the Somerset fold after a season with Derbyshire.
"Ben needed a family home and we were able to provide him with a property after just one viewing!"
On his experience Ben commented, "The staff at Martin & Co were very professional and with such a lot to do and such a long distance move it was great to be able to get somewhere sorted out so quickly".

Exeter office scores a conversion
EXETER franchisee Cen ("Ken") Draper is celebrating a top quality conversion - after finding a home for two of the city's rugby players. Exeter Chiefs stars Mathew Grove, and Joe Horn-Smith, have rented a house in Radford Road, through Cen.
The letting agent reckons he's pulled a flanker on his rivals by getting the two players on side. "We were certainly ahead of the pack with this one," Cen joked. "We really do try!"
And the players reckon the move was a great result for them too.
"This is just the kind of place we were looking for," said Mathew. "It's very convenient for us and it all went extremely smoothly. All credit to Martin & Co for being on the ball!"
Following up on an advert the rugby players had seen in the local paper for Martin & Co they visited the office in person.
"We pulled out all the stops for them, even to the extent of me putting in a washing machine I had spare," said Cen who, being Welsh, is a big rugby fan himself.
