Our Team
David Martin
CEO & Managing Director
Having worked in the waste industry for 7 years, David always kept his dream of starting his own waste company alive. Finally, after years of professional development and gaining experience he made the big leap in February of 2017.
David is a passionate people person and there is no better front of house than him! Liasing with clients is his number one asset and one that Proper Junk takes full advantage of.
In his free time, David loves to spend time with his children and FOUR dogs! It is clear he loves to be busy!
He made his dream a reality - no short feat - and now runs a highly sucessful, sought after and reputable company. What more can we say - there is no one quite like our CEO.
Christina Martin
CEO and Managing Director
Christina is the ying to David's yang. With her background in Law - she helped to build the backbone of the company from a bureaucratic standpoint. There is still a long running dispute as to who actually came up with the name 'Proper Junk Removal' - Christina passionately pleads the case that it was her - i mean who else but a South Londoner could come up with that name?
In her spare time Christina is an avid bibliophile and loves nothing more that to settle down with some Oscar Wilde, Tolkien or even a comic to relax - that is of course only when shes not spending time with her three children.
Christina enjoys all the varied nuances of running a business but her passions are Health and Safety and Environmental Sustainability. She has spearheaded meeting our H&S and Environmental goals on a continual basis and this year she will be undertaking her National Diploma under NEBOSH.
Charlotte Troak
Operations Manager
Charlotte joined Proper Junk Removal in 2023. She had been a hire that we had long coveted and at the first opportunity - we snapped her up. She comes from a strong backround in the construction industry - specifically Audio Visual (AV) companies. She has managed huge projects both in the UK and Europe for colossal corporate clients - we can't name names here - but one account was headed by a very famous rodent (wink wink).
In her spare time, Charlotte loves to further her artistic talent - through painting, sketching and anything creative really. This comes in handy keeping her beautiful children occupied - what a crafty mummy!
Charlotte has implimented numerous new logistical and operational systems that have boosted productivity and client satisfaction since starting at Proper Junk. We don't know where we'd be without her!
