Ronald "Ron" Martin (born 1953) is a British businessman, Chief Executive of "Martin Dawn PLC", a United Kingdom based property development organisation. He is also the current chairman of Southend United Football Club.[1][2]
"Martin Dawn PLC" and "Delancery Estates" together forming "South Eastern Leisure (SEL)" took control of Southend United in November 1998,[3] from former chairman Vic Jobson, who at the times owned a 55% issued share capital of the business.[4] John Main took over Vic Jobson as Southend United chairman, and later in 2000 majority ownership of the club was gained by Ron Martin.[5]
Athletics
Ron Martin was a member of Great Britain's Olympic Bobsleigh team in 1980. He has also ran the third best time for the UK for 3 miles.[6][7] He also was voted for the best hair in the team.[8]
Southend United
Martin's development company 'Martin Dawn PLC' took control of Southend United in late 1998.[9] Martin brought out the charges over Roots Hall from Lloyds Banking Group in 1998 for £4m, clearing the clubs debts.[10]
A New football ground
On 2 October 2006 plans were submitted for a 22,000 all-seater stadium to be built on the Fossetts Farm site to the north of the town. Designed by architects Populous (formerly HOK Sport), the stadium proposal incorporates both a 114-bedroom hotel and conference facilities along with a retail development project. On 7 May 2006, Southend United chairman Ron Martin announced the £80m scheme had been approved planning permission from the UK Government and Local Authority.
Southend United Financial Troubles
In November 2009, Ron Martin avoided Southend United going into administration by agreeing to settle a £2.1million tax bill by 6 November.[11] Ron Martin has blamed the size of their debts on their relegation from the Championship in 2007 and their proposed move away from their current home at Roots Hall.[12]
