LEICHT Contracts appoints Steve Northwood, as the company’s new Head of Sales, to identify prime development opportunities and drive top-line growth.
Steve’s appointment will further support the recent management changes at LEICHT Contracts to positively align company sales activity with long-term growth plans. These are specifically driven by increased residential development opportunities and future project wins throughout the UK contract kitchens sector.
With extensive knowledge of the construction sector, Steve holds over 18 years’ experience working with global manufacturers of residential and commercial building products.
He has held a series of other key senior positions within the UK construction and contract market. Tasked with identifying, researching, and engaging potential new customers and leads for volume projects, Steve will oversee every element of the sales journey at LEICHT Contracts going forward.
Steve said, “I am excited to make a difference with a great brand and business. We are already on track for a hugely successful year by establishing a strong project pipeline. Concentrating on London and the home counties, my aim is to nurture existing relationships, and exponentially grow fresh prospects and turnkey development opportunities across the new build and regeneration construction market.”
New appointment of Managing Director
Steve will also facilitate key operational and strategic support to Matt Goddon. Matt has driven business growth since his appointment to Managing Director of LEICHT Contracts in January 2026.
Matt Goddon comments, “The LEICHT brand has gained significant momentum following the release of our new kitchen innovations including a range of brand new finishes, curved panels and exciting new furniture elements to both achieve and be on the cutting edge of design trends through 2026 and 2027. Since my promotion to MD, business confidence is high at LEICHT Contracts. We want to leverage this momentum with the appointment of a new Head of Sales to actively lead our UK sales teams, maximise growth, and our commitment to the architectural kitchen.”
Matt adds, “Steve will bring with him a unique skill set to our London design team. We cannot wait to start collaborating, building even stronger client connections, and ultimately sharing ideas from our experiences to develop and expand LEICHT Contracts and enhance the LEICHT brand. Welcome aboard Steve.”
