A NOTED COMMENTATOR
A regular media commentator and keynote speaker, Steve is a prominent voice on some of the biggest issues facing the UK economy, from AI, productivity and the future of work to tax, business policy and economic growth.
He is a passionate advocate for a more pro-business UK: one that attracts investment, encourages successful businesses to stay and grow here, and gives family and privately owned businesses the confidence to invest for the long term.
He also speaks regularly about a subject close to his heart: the difference that good education and training can make to the lives of disadvantaged young people, and place-based partnerships that bring together philanthropy, business, local communities and policymakers to deliver lasting social impact.
