LEICHT Contracts, one of the UK’s leading providers of German-engineered kitchen furniture to the new build and regeneration construction market, has appointed Will Bishop as Sales Director.
Starting 31st March 2025, Will joins the team at LEICHT Contracts with extensive knowledge of the built environment and contract kitchens market following 16 years in the industry.
Previously Sales Director at the largest manufacturer of structural building components in the UK, ACS Stainless Steel Fixings, Will is well versed in assisting premium property developers and architects with complex, high-volume projects. He also held the same position at Neo Group, the country’s largest stone fabricator supplying bespoke kitchen worktops, in addition to several roles in senior business development and contract kitchen sales at Symphony, Whiteleaf Furniture, and Howdens.
Will has always been passionate about kitchen design, and alongside his broad experience in fabrication and masonry, he has also worked across many key projects countrywide, managing multi-million-pound contracts for leading developers like Ballymore, Henry Construction, Berkeley St George, Barratt and Taylor Wimpey.
Tasked with managing all large-scale volume projects won by LEICHT Contracts, Will brings a wealth of high-calibre clientele to the business and explains, “While high-rise construction is taking place across the UK, the city of London accounts for 58% of all new developments in the pipeline, which is over half of the total value! Furthermore, London's population is expected to increase to 9.6 million by 2035, and so the need to increase urbanisation is fundamental to the city's available housing stock, whether new build or redevelopment. With this in mind, I am thrilled to accept the Sales Director role at LEICHT Contracts, and contribute to the supply of stylish, sustainable, and supportive German-made architectural kitchen living spaces throughout the UK.”
Will Bishop joins Emily Everett, Sales Manager at LEICHT Contracts, who has established herself as a dynamic and highly commercial individual serving the company’s luxury and bespoke developers; Design Director, Matt Goddon, who has a sharp eye for design and natural ability to lead; and Sarah Edwards, Managing Director UK, who has managed all business operations for the past five years.
