  • Charlie Marshall

    Charlie Marshall Loaf

    Saturday 20th July 2013

    Charlie Marshall is founder and 'head of loafing' of Loaf. Loaf was set up after Charlie lost a whole Saturday trying to buy a bed. He saw an opportunity to make the shopping experience quicker than the high street and as hassle free as possible. So two years, 187 mattress factories and some seriously comfy beds later, The Sleep Room was born in December 2008. A predominantly online business, The Sleep Room quickly became one of the fastest-growing companies in the UK.
