Early Life
Steven’s story began in sport.
At the age of 10, he was ranked amongst the Top 10 tennis players in the UK, before discovering his passion for field hockey — where he represented England Juniors at just 15, less than 4 years after starting the sport. His sporting career later continued at University, where he played Premier League BUCS Hockey.
He studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Birmingham, and put his studies on hold after two years to pursue a career in entrepreneurship — a decision that sparked his entry into the property industry and his mission to build sustainable, impactful ventures.
