Matt Gough

Director, StairFurb

About Matt

Matt Gough is a Director at StairFurb and has overseen the company’s growth since its earliest days, when the team was just three people. He now leads marketing and sales while focusing on keeping StairFurb’s systems and service running to a high standard.

After earning a degree in Business Administration from the University of Bath, Matt began his career in indoor skydiving before moving into manufacturing as a Sales and Marketing Manager. Alongside his work, he launched and sold two successful ventures: the world’s first BASE jump magazine and a surf guiding business across Europe and Morocco.

Leading with a Customer-First Mindset

Since starting StairFurb, Matt has helped shape the brand’s practical, DIY-friendly approach to staircase refurbishment. He’s passionate about designing systems that keep things simple for customers and streamlined behind the scenes. He has DIY installed hundreds of balustrade refurbishment kits over the past decade and has continually strived to make the fitting process as DIY friendly as possible, looking for improvements wherever possible. He’s focused on keeping the experience personal and straightforward, making sure customers feel confident from start to finish. Every order is still known by name in the factory, and that human touch continues to define how the team works.

Outside of Work

Matt lives by the sea and enjoys surfing, spearfishing, paragliding, and hiking. Most adventures are shared with his wife and young son, often exploring the coast or mountains together as a family.
