Following ten years as MD of a subsidiary to a large construction group, Steve led a management buy-in at Midas Group. As Chief Executive and now Chairman, Steve has transformed Midas from a small, regionally based contractor to a £200 million property services group. Steve has recently completed two years as Chairman of the CBI in the South West.

He serves on the boards of Camborne, Pool, Redruth Regeneration Company, Devon & Cornwall Electrical Training Limited and the Construction Industry Research and Innovation Strategy Panel.
