Steven and Ross have been friends for over two decades, having met at Manchester Metropolitan University. Steve is an avid technology enthusiast, particularly drawn to the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence and its potential applications. However, his true passion lies in traditional crafts. He finds joy in rediscovering the fundamentals of creating wholesome food, products, and a cleaner lifestyle. Whether it’s making homemade jams, chutneys, cheeses, and sausages, or crafting wreaths, he relishes the entire process.

 

Over the past 25 years, Steven has had a successful career in retail and retail management, with a specific focus on operations and processes. However, in recent years, he transitioned behind the scenes to IT and project management.

 

Steven earned his degree in Human Nutrition and further developed his knowledge by obtaining a Level 3 trainer’s certificate and also attended courses at Wiltshire College to enhance his counselling skills and gain awareness of men’s mental health issues.

He holds certificates in data protection and services. He has recently completed courses in Generative AI and its applications in business.

 

Steven is known for his expertise in cottage kitchen produce and is a go-to resource for anyone interested in this area. He also enjoys walking, nature, and self-sustainability.

With a diverse range of skills and interests, he is passionate about sharing his knowledge and teaching others how and why things are done with a true back to basics approach.
