Mr. Ravenhill feels moderately privileged, but firmly believes in personal responsibility, and insists, “We all need to make our own way in the world”.

Born, raised and educated in England, he is proud of his Anglo-Irish roots and, after gaining experience in banking, he worked for a time in the City of London, where he made many lasting contacts. Although the challenges of working as a Financial Advisor appealed to him, he developed a passion for travel early on, and realized that the Vacation Industry could provide a colorful and exciting lifestyle.

From the Spanish Islands to the ski slopes of Nevada, he has built up comprehensive industry experience, particularly in Mexico, and was the sales director for Krystal International Vacation Club, Puerto Vallarta before developing Lloydshare, which came into being in 2002.

Ever an entrepreneur and naturally gregarious, Mr. Ravenhill says that his greatest satisfaction has come from pulling together different experts from the various strands of his career to help him plan and perfect the Lloydshare Deferred Annuity product.

Martyn Ravenhill’s personal motto is ‘Find out what you do best and do your best with it!’
