Clegg Food Projects appoints commercial director

Nottingham-based food industry construction specialist Clegg Food Projects has appointed Stephen Roberts as commercial director.

Stephen joins the business after 15 years with Lindum Group, where he held a senior commercial role.

In his new position, he will lead the company’s commercial function, supporting its long-term growth strategy and the delivery of specialist food manufacturing and processing projects across the UK.

His appointment forms part of a planned leadership succession ahead of the retirement of commercial director Ian King in early 2027, following more than 25 years with the business.

Stephen said: “I’m excited to be joining Clegg Food Projects at such an important time for the business.

“The company has an excellent reputation within the food and beverage sector, and I’m looking forward to working with the team to build on that success, support our clients and contribute to the company’s future growth.”

Matthew Carr, managing director, added: “We are delighted to welcome Stephen to Clegg Food Projects. 

“His extensive commercial experience, strong leadership skills and in-depth understanding of the construction industry make him an excellent addition to our team.

“As we continue to grow, Stephen will play a key role in delivering our long-term ambitions. 

“He will help strengthen our relationships with prestigious brands including Greggs, Samworth Brothers and Greene King, while ensuring a seamless transition as Ian prepares for his well-deserved retirement.”
