Through his work with IPB Communications, Steve has provided strategic communications consultancy to a wide variety of organisations, including local authorities, housing associations, regeneration bodies, Local Enterprise Partnerships, blue chip companies and energy providers across the country. The work has ranged from day-to-day media support to consultation on major infrastructure projects.

Steve is a skilled communicator, project manager and consultations expert.

Career highlights include:

• Supporting RWE Innogy with the development and implementation of a national Community Engagement Charter in response to the localism agenda.
• Community consultation campaigns for housebuilders Barratt Home and David Wilson Homes
• Account manager for Sheffield City Region, developing and implementing communications campaigns around HS2.

Steve says: “Success in communications means having an intimate knowledge of the pressures and challenges which your clients face. You need to know what it’s like at the sharp end of many of the projects they are delivering. Understanding project planning and timescales is critical to the work I do with IPB clients – as is the need to respond to demands for a quick response and the ability to meet tight deadlines. You find yourself becoming part of the client’s team and that’s how you really add value.”
