CEO MONTHLY / ISSUE 7 2023 16 Senior Sleep Expert - Martin Seeley Following 20 years of industry experience and an ambitious endeavour into the world of mattress sales and distribution, Martin Seeley has become the leading CEO in all things bedding. Through a combination of management prowess and a fun-loving, easy-going attitude towards teamwork, Martin has made a name for himself as the Most Influential CEO 2023 - UK (Bedding Products). Join us as we delve into how Martin came to live his dream, whilst organising a company that’s set on ensuring that everyone gets a good night’s sleep. Since he and his father founded MattressNextDay (MND), Martin has consistently adhered to the core values that he established upon taking up the mantle of CEO. His practises follow a ‘work hard, but keep it simple’ mindset, and it’s this attitude that has played a huge role in the success of both Martin and his company. Through narrowing down his priorities and focusing on the aspects that allow MND to truly flourish, he’s established a simple, yet effective, management style geared towards business success. Of course, Martin was quick to realise that it takes an intense amount of hard work and dedication in order to make ‘simple’ work. However, he didn’t let this come between him and his drive to reduce overcomplication, despite the drastic changes that have impacted the mattress and bed industry throughout the past 20 years. Martin has taken every alteration in his stride, and the result is a thriving company that unites simplicity and quality to deliver a wide range of products to a popular market, no matter the budget. When we spoke with Martin about the role of his staff within the company, he had this to say: “The team we have in place now is by far the strongest we’ve ever had. We’re a close, easy-going bunch with the drive, skills, and commitment to create the perfect cocktail of talent”. Though Martin is incredibly close with his team, this is only made possible through the absolute trust and faith that he has in them. He rejects the concept of micromanaging, and encourages his team to drive the company as a result of their exceptional judgement. What we believe makes Martin a truly noteworthy CEO is his complete faith in the people around him. He consistently expresses that he’s surrounded by the best people imaginable, and details how his position of CEO is as strong as it is through the connections that he’s made with his team. MND is comprised of individuals who effortlessly mesh together, and the result is an environment where employee and CEO work harmoniously to uplift the company to new heights. As a result of this undeniable cohesion, MND has very exciting plans for the near future that Martin has shared with us. It’s thanks to the success of the company that Martin has been given the opportunity to construct a custom-built showroom and office in Herne Bay, and the business is already in the process of making this dream a reality. Martin expresses that he’s eager to finally have a physical space for customers to visit, where a selection of MND’s bestselling mattresses will be available to view in all their glory. This advancement presents all new opportunities for the business, and allows both Martin and his employees to connect with customers on a far more personal level. The space has been fully designed with clients in mind, and will serve as an additional means of uniting individuals with the best possible choice for them. And with MND’s new office boasting an open plan, Martin hopes that enhanced department communication will become an overarching factor throughout the team. We’re very excited to see how MND has developed throughout its years, and how Martin has driven the company towards such massive success. However, the development of its all-new showroom is something that we’re eagerly anticipating. If you’d like to acquaint yourself with some of the country’s best mattresses when MattressNextDay’s new showroom is finally accessible to the public, you can follow its socials for updates, and even subscribe to its mailing list to be the first to know when its doors open. The services that MND provides are nothing short of exemplary, but none of it would be possible without Martin’s overwhelming dedication towards the field. He pours his heart into everything he does, and by uniting his team through his trusting management approach, it’s easy to understand how Martin has come to earn the title of Most Influential CEO 2023 - UK (Bedding Products).
