Martin Cahill

How long have you lived in Forbes? I was born and bred in Forbes – been here for 52 years.

Where do you work? At Cahills Footwear. My father started the business in
1949 and I have been working here 31 years.

What do you enjoy most about your job? Talking to all the customers. I know pretty much every face in Forbes. There are so many different people from all walks of life who have done many interesting things.

What do you do in your spare time? My second grandchild is one week old and the other one year. I play a bit of golf too and do some gym work. On Sunday afternoons I like to watch the footy or a movie.

How do you like your coffee? White and one sugar.

What makes your day? To see the smiling faces of my staff, and to see my family happy.

What is your favourite food? A baked dinner of lamb roast with all the veggies.
