MARTIN KELLY
ORGANISATIONAL DESIGN CONSULTANT

With nearly 40 years in hospitality and Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Martin Kelly has seen it all—good leadership, bad leadership, and the undeniable power of a strong workplace culture. Having worked across everything from small businesses to global corporations, he knows that how a team feels at work isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it’s the key to real success.

Martin’s journey started in the fast-paced world of hospitality, where he quickly learned that happy teams make for happy customers. He built his leadership approach on a mix of resilience, adaptability, and, most importantly, putting people first. Moving into the FMCG sector brought new challenges, but one thing stayed the same: culture matters. He’s seen how a thriving, engaged team can drive results—and how a toxic one can do the opposite.

Now, Martin is all about helping teams and individuals perform at their best. Whether it’s mentoring future leaders, shaping company culture, or simply making work a better place to be, his passion is clear. He believes that when people feel valued and supported, they don’t just work better—they thrive. And that’s what truly drives business success.
