Outside of Work

A dedicated follower of sport, Steve would have Paul Gascoigne over for dinner, dazzle his guest with beans on toast and complete the evening with Match of the Day.

A man of football culture, Steve is a lifetime fan of Stoke City FC.

In 10 years time you may see Steve in the winners’ enclosure at Aintree, having finally fulfilled his ambition to own a (swift) racehorse.
