Martin is moving on to pursue personal projects.
Martin says, “This has been just the best job. I’m really proud of the covers, the stories, the brilliant commercial partnerships and I’m delighted to be stepping away with the magazine in such a strong position. I wish the team all the best and will miss them.”
