Steve is an experienced entrepreneur and professional with over 35 years experience in sales, purchasing, marketing and strategic corporate development within the Electronics Industry in both the manufacturing and distribution sectors.

Steve has a proven track record for business development with hands on management experience gained at start up, acquisition and PLC main board level.

As a Director and Partner of Solution Corporate Finance, Steve has specific responsibility for new business identification, development and intermediary relationship management.

Steve says "having been a member of a PLC board looking to acquire other businesses, a board member of a business during a sale process and an owner manager looking to exit I am able to identify fully with any person or management team considering any M&A transaction. No one can truly empathise unless they have been through this process themselves.

I fully appreciate the conflict that owner managers face in instinctively trying to protect the business that they have sweated and toiled to nurture and develop whilst trying to gain the attention of interested parties and encourage them to share the dream.

The 'covert auction process' delivered by Solution on each and every transaction provides for peace of mind and allows owner managers to almost be in two places at the same time - eye on the day and mind on the future."
