Martin's story

Martin's love for the construction industry started back in his days on the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane as a plumber, where he also combined his trade with being a semi-professional footballer, husband to Melissa and father to 2 beautiful girls, Candice and Kristy.

In 1995 Martin's construction dreams were put on hold, as he took up an opportunity to play for five years, and then work for a further five years with the North Queensland Cowboys. It was during this time his two sons, Mitchell and Isaac were born, completing his family. Life was perfect and NQ was now home.

Martin is still forever grateful for the opportunities afforded him by the Cowboys, which he still passionately supports, and he may still be working there today had it not been for his desire for a new challenge in 2005 and where else to take up that challenge but where it all started, in the Building Industry.

That move many years ago and the swap from business shirt and tie, back to steel cap boots and shovel saw Martin become the site supervisor, plumber, estimator, landscaper, project manager, site labourer and builder for numerous construction projects throughout Townsville under the Ramlock Properties banner.

However in 2010, Martin's passion and desire to fully focus on building homes, saw the establishment of Martin Locke Homes. The full circle has been complete and life could not be better for Martin, his family and small and dedicated team of employees and contractors who make up the Martin Locke Homes Team.

Personally, Martin has always made decisions based on what is best for his family and dedicated any spare time he has to being a 'Dad'. But with his children now grown up, he's throwing more time into growing his business and building dream homes for others' families. Just as importantly, he's focused on dedicating time to give back to the community that has given him and his family more than they could have ever dreamed of when they arrived back in the summer of 1995.
