Steve has over 30 years of Insurance, Risk Management, Sales and General Management experience, the last 11 years as a business owner.

He has a unique perspective on how Risk Management can be used as a business enabler, a hidden performance lever that can build accountability, support the growth of employee engagement, enhance operational performance, develop business resilience, underpin profitability and ultimately competitive advantage.

Steve is an experienced and engaging presenter with a skill for building highly interactive training sessions and making the complex simple and digestible. He has built and delivered National Sales Training Programmes and recognised as a Finalist at National Sales Training Awards. Steve also has a separate consultancy that is focussed on helping the insurance industry develop competitive differentiation through consultative selling and risk solutions www.wtw-consulting.co.uk.

His real interest in Resilience grew when preparing to take part in the Marathon de Sables, a 250km 7-day self-sustaining race across the Sahara Desert. He had to plan to deal with whatever might go wrong in an extreme environment with no external assistance, to stay in the race. He has since used this resilience mentality to compete in similar multi-day races in the Namib Desert (Namibia) and the Atacama Desert (Chile) and in business implementing ISO management standards and helping business owners build resilience. Steve is an Associate Member of the Business Continuity Institute.
