Town Mayor

Godalming Town Mayor for the Year 2013/2014 - Councillor Tom Martin

At 35 Tom Martin is believed to be the youngest ever Mayor of Godalming.  Although born in Oxford, Tom has spent most of his life living in Godalming.  He was educated locally and finished his studies at the University of Bath.  Tom now works for an international IT services organisation and is responsible for change management and technical troubleshooting.  Tom is married to Jessica and they have a young daughter who attends a local nursery.

Tom was elected to both Godalming Town and Waverley Borough Councils in May 2007 representing the Godalming Holloway ward where he had been brought up.  Tom also represents the Town Council as a Director of the Holloway Hill Sports Association.  In addition to his political duties,  he has been a governor of Busbridge Infant School since May 2003.

In his spare time, Tom is an avid skier (although Godalming's climate doesn't allow him to enjoy this pastime nearly as often as he would like) and cyclist, he also enjoys indoor climbing.  In 2012 Tom raised money for charity cycling the Bucks 100 (a 100 mile circular route) and from Richmond to Hayling Island.  Thom is also a keen musician enjoying a wide range of music.  He has played Trombone for many years and occasionally plays with the Godalming Band (most notably on Remembrance Sunday).  Tom is also fascinated by ancestral history having researched his family tree back many generations.
