Martin Bloom | Managing Director
With over 25 years of experience in the hospitality, retail, and leisure sectors, Martin Bloom has built a reputation for turning emerging brands into industry leaders. From shaping the growth of household names like Loungers Group, Everyman Cinemas, Seasalt, and Las Iguanas, to pioneering innovative property strategies, Martin’s career reflects a passion for empowering brands to achieve their full potential.
Martin’s journey began with a BSc in Estate Management and qualification as a Chartered Surveyor, driven by his entrepreneurial roots and a desire to bridge the gap between landlords and occupiers. His early career saw him navigating London’s commercial property market before leading international projects, including cinema developments across Europe.
After founding Insight Retail Consulting—a firm that thrived for over two decades—Martin recognised the shifting dynamics of consumer behaviour and sustainability in the property sector. This inspired the creation of CURACE, a consultancy focused on bespoke, eco-conscious strategies tailored to each client’s journey.
Beyond his professional achievements, Martin’s adventurous spirit is evident in his love for mountain hikes, Cornish coastal exploration, and landscape photography. Whether capturing Europe’s cityscapes or embracing fitness challenges like cold-water swims, Martin brings the same energy and purpose to every aspect of his life.
