Your Senior Leadership Team

MJ PFAS

Martyn Jackson, Group CEO

Martyn joined IPRS Group in 2004 and is married to Angela and has a son Zach.

Martyn lives in north Kent in a converted village hall he renovated, hence the recent development of grey hair.  The work on the house was recently featured on the BBC daytime programme "how not to renovate a house!".

In his spare time Martyn is writing a thriller based on a family man who is secretly killing building contractors in Kent titled "parallel universe living in the world of construction!"

Martyn still plays football once a week for the village, normally paired with the under 30's to balance the age profile across the teams and help some of the boys with their care in the community orders.  

Loves: Family, Classic Cars and Football 

Hates: Lateness and Poor Customer Service

Diane Wythe , PFAS Managing Director

I joined IPRS back in January 2001, as Management Accountant, when the business was much, much, smaller.  Working in a number of diverse roles over the past 18 years, I have been a member of the IPRS Health SMT since 2012 and last year I had the pleasure of taking a more active role in PFAS as Business Lead.

I am married to Graham and we have a son who is almost 30! We have two pets, Molly our beautiful Back Labrador and Billy our African Grey Parrot.  Holidays play a major part in my work life balance, both in the UK and abroad, you can’t beat walking the dog on a beach in the Summer and relaxing with a good book
