A vastly experienced and enthusiastic development, regeneration and design specialist, Steve has operated in client and consultant management, leading delivery teams on a wide variety of mixed-use urban regeneration schemes.

Between 2008 and 2012, he served as Director of Land and Development at the London Development Agency, leading the team responsible for the 2000+ acre, £600m+ land portfolio. This included the specialist team responsible for concluding the £135bn land purchase within Stratford's Olympic Park. Steve led the regeneration programme and team on behalf of the LDA/GLA in collaboration with public sector stakeholders (London Borough of Newham and Transport for London) and key private sector stakeholders (including the University of East London, Excel, London City Airport and Siemens) until 2013.

As part of the ‘Urban Communities Development’ team at Land Securities, Steve has also led urban extension projects across the southeast, including the Ebbsfleet International Eurostar Station, Harlow North and the White City masterplan.

He has also overseen procurement processes to select development partners within the Royal Docks projects, including Silvertown Quays, the Royal Albert Dock and Albert Basin, alongside delivering private land sale agreements to organisations such as Siemens, London City Airport and the University of East London.
