Unfailingly positive, even in the face of the most crass short-termism, Steve gave us a sense that the thankless task of attempting to join-up government policies, was somehow slightly heroic. His jokes are terrible, but it doesn’t really matter. Whilst he was there we were a great team. After he left, well... I left fairly soon too, which just about sums it up. Great guy. Just don’t judge him on his jokes.

I’ve had the opportunity to see Steve in action as a trainer and facilitator and been very impressed. He has a great combination of strategic awareness and the ability to drop into the detail to design and implement delivery programmes.

Steve clearly has a passion for spotting opportunities and connecting people that may be able to help each other.

Above all it’s always fun to be involved in a session with Steve, he shows it’s a myth that engineers can’t have people skills!
— Gary Mahon, Director, Indigo Verve Ltd

Working for Steve (or Hobbsy as he was known behind his back) was, in retrospect, an even better experience than it seemed at the time. His management philosophy was ambitious, empowering and assumed his team was capable, even when sometimes we were not, and so engendered in us self-confidence and resilience.

I highly recommend Stephen as a trainer and facilitator. He brings clarity, empathy and a warm understanding to building good working relationships.

His ability to empower vision and prospects… is commendable. I thoroughly enjoyed the training and gained valuable insights to improve my coaching process.
— Novelette Williams, Director, Indigo Verve

— Michael Brunner, Director, Harlaxton Associates Ltd
