Interview

Martin Murphy is a busy man. The managing director of Tidal Energy is telling me about how his six-year development project to produce a prototype tidal stream renewable electricity generating system is reaching its critical implementation phase. He is also the incoming president of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology. Completely at home in a career full of challenges, as we sit in the boardroom of his Cardiff offices he tells me he´s also a man with salt water in his veins.
