John Edmund Martineau (1904 – 3 June 1982) was an English brewer and brewing executive, who served as President of the Institute of Brewing. LifeJohn Edmund Martineau was born in 1904, the eldest son of Maurice Martineau, of Walsham-le-Willows in Suffolk. In 1936, he married Catherine Makepeace Thackeray (1911–1995), second daughter of William Thackeray Dennis Ritchie (1880–1964), of Woodend House in Marlow, Durham, a descendent of William Makepeace Thackeray.[1][2][3] Martineau was educated at Eton and New College, Oxford, where he completed a classics degree. He worked at Mure's Brewery in Hampstead, before joining Whitbread & Co's in 1925; promotion to managing director followed in 1931, making him the fifth member of his family to sit on Whitbread's Board since it took over the family business, Martineau and Bland, in 1812.[4] During the Second World War, he served in the Royal Air Force, rising to the rank of Wing Commander and ending with a posting at the Directorate of War Organisation in the Air Ministry. After the war, he returned to Whitbread's and was responsible for overseeing research and technical affairs, including the re-opening of its laboratory in 1946. Martineau worked closely with the Head Brewer, Bill Lasman, and the pair tried to apply scientific advances to brewing. According to his obituary, Whitbread's Luton brewery "would never have been built in that matter if not for the training and encouragement they gave to the technical staff".[4] In 1950, Martineau joined the Council of the Brewers' Society, an appointment which would last for sixteen years. At the same time, he was appointed Chairman of the Publications Committee at the Institute of Brewing, in which post he remained until 1952. Between 1954 and 1956, he served as President of the Institute of Brewing and in 1955 he was appointed Master of the Brewers' Company for a year. He had overseen the reconstruction of the latter company's bomb-damaged hall after the war as Chairman of the Hall Committee. Away from his profession, Martineau was also chairman of the governors at Dame Alice Owen's School and Aldenham School.[4] His obituary in the Journal of the Institute of Brewing records that "his heart was especially close to research and to education" in the brewing industry; he was described as don-like and an intellectual. He died on 3 June 1982.[4] References1. ^Aplin, John, [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=wvAFBAAAQBAJ The Inheritance of Genius: a Thackeray Family Biography], 2010 (Cambridge: Lutterworth Press), p. 299 {{S-start}}{{Succession box2. ^"Marriages", Times (London), 24 April 1936, p. 21 3. ^Mostyn-Owen, William (8 November 1995, [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-catherine-martineau-1580931.html "Obituary: Catherine Martineau"], The Independent.
