Matt was a foreman oversaw the builders who were employed to work on the Victoria Court flats development in April 2008. When Roy Cropper had found evidence that a colony of bats had been roosting on the site, the foreman told Tony Gordon, the main investor, that the "bat brigade" were coming out to visit and suggested they should just smoke the bats out since they couldn't afford a shut-down, the project already being behind schedule. The character's christian name of "Matt" was given in dialogue.
