Martin Tierney EY Entrepreneur of The Year

Our Managing Director, Martin Tierney, has been named as one of the finalists in this year’s EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Ireland programme - and his story will be featured in the brand-new four-part documentary series, The Entrepreneurs, from EY Ireland × RTÉ.

Tune in from Monday, 3 November at 8 pm on RTÉ One to follow the journeys of Ireland’s most visionary business leaders - people who are driving change, inspiring their teams, and shaping the future of business.

Martin’s episode tells the story of his journey from the factory floor in Limavady to leading a global company that’s transforming lives through better seating. It explores the challenges he’s faced, the lessons learned along the way, and the principles that continue to guide him as a purpose-driven leader.

At Seating Matters, we believe great leadership is about more than business success - it’s about people, culture, and innovation. Martin’s story reflects these values and reminds us why we do what we do every day: to improve lives through better seating.

This recognition isn’t just for Martin. It’s for every member of our team, every chair we’ve crafted, and every life that’s been changed as a result.

We couldn’t be prouder or more excited to see the Seating Matters story shared on this national stage.

Congratulations, Martin - this honour is so well deserved.
