Barnsbury Boy - Martin "Bertie" Worster - 1957-1962
Councillor Martin Worster became Deputy Mayor in 2010 and was re-elected in 2014. He became Mayor of Hertsmere Borough Council in 2015. He served on various committees and is Vice-Chairman of the Planning Committee.
He was raised in Islington, London, and completed his formal education at Barnsbury School for Boys. On leaving school, his first two years were spent at the Co-Operative Insurance Society in Holborn. During this time, his passion was learning about and dealing in antiques, which were plentiful and not very fashionable to the home market in the 1960s. The appetite in the USA was much stronger, which was recognized and supplied to this day by his company.
He married Pam in 1971. They have four children and five grandchildren. Their children were all educated in Hertfordshire schools. For the last forty years, they have enjoyed living in Hertfordshire, and particularly Ridge since 1999.
He enjoys gardening and travelling overseas, often in pursuit of fine art and objects of virtue.
