Academically Steve is a prize-winning economist, with degrees from two leading schools. Professionally he is a UK-based Chartered Accountant. And commercially he founded a 40-person consultancy and was once chosen by a leading business magazine as their UK Entrepreneur of the Year.
His 2020 book 'Our time to RISE' contains a step-by-step guide to becoming a Business for Good - www.ourtimetorise.global
His other books include ‘Stress proof your business and your life’, ‘101 ways to make more profits’, ‘How to build a better business and make more money’, ‘The World’s Most Inspiring Accountants’ and the ‘Better Business, Better Life, Better World’ trilogy.
He has now taken ‘early-retirement’ from his previous business activities in order to devote his life to giving away his time and intellectual property for free in order to help make the world a better place.
Outside of work Steve has been married for almost 40 years, has three adult children and lives in Yorkshire. His hobbies include playing tennis badly, and playing blues guitar terribly.
