Lichtgitter UK has strengthened its commercial team with the appointment of Steve Grainger, who brings deep sector knowledge and proven expertise in sales and business development to support the company’s next phase of growth.
Steve joins at a pivotal time for the company, following its recent £6 million investment in a new 40,000 sq ft headquarters in Norton Canes, Cannock. With over 30 years of experience in the steel and steel flooring sectors, his appointment reflects Lichtgitter UK’s commitment to building lasting relationships and deepening its market presence across the UK.
“This is an exciting time. It’s a phenomenal opportunity for the company to grow, become more widely known within the industry, and act as a real launch pad to take things to the next level,” Steve said.
Having spent his entire career in sales and customer-facing roles, Steve brings a natural energy for connection, conversation, and communication. His decision to join Lichtgitter UK was guided not only by the company’s impressive capabilities but by its people and potential.
“It’s a market-leading organisation in its field,” he said. “From what I’ve experienced so far, there’s a fantastic culture here—a great team. I’m excited to be a part of that.”
Steve is especially enthusiastic about bringing a fresh and outward-facing approach to the role.
“I want to be proactive, especially when it comes to visibility and brand presence. Social media, customer engagement, storytelling—these things matter. My aim is to help the business shine even more, and support the growth that’s already underway.”
Managing Director Alec Grice, who recently led the company’s move into its modern manufacturing hub, welcomed Steve’s appointment.
“Steve brings a brilliant mix of experience, enthusiasm and industry insight,” Alec said. “He’s someone who fits straight in with our values and our vision—he understands the market, but also the importance of people. That makes him the right person to help lead our next chapter.”
Reflecting on his ambitions for the role, Steve remains grounded but focused.
“I’m not here to shake things up for the sake of it,” he said with a smile. “I just want to contribute and make a difference. That’s what it’s about—helping this already great business reach even greater heights.”
