Steven gained a first class degree in Physics in 1981 and initially worked in purchasing and materials control for the Ford Motor Company. He left Ford to enter the field of intellectual property protection in 1990 and qualified as a UK and European patent attorney.

When not working Steven’s main recreational activity is golf but he also spends much of his free time walking and kayaking in the Lake District.
