BIOGRAPHY

Steven was born in Carlisle in 1975 and educated at the University of Northumbria Carlisle Campus. His family, including his six-year-old daughter live in the City as do many of his close friends, as such he feels a very strong connection to the city and its people. He runs his own business from the City and is also an elected member of the City Council and feels it would be a great honour to represent his hometown in Parliament.

Steven has a combined honours degree in Business Studies and Computer Based Information Systems. After graduation he joined a US based publishing group. He spent 8 years in the publishing industry and left in 2005 to join an IT outsourcing company where he picked up a qualification as a Project Manager in IT projects. Steven went on to support several major projects within the County Council, including the roll out of a Customer Relationship Management system, assessment of several new accounts and payroll systems and general project management.

In May 2006 he formed his own publishing resale company based in Carlisle and represents a number of large publishers in the engineering and computer science markets.

Steven is aware of many local issues, which the electorate in Carlisle would be keen to debate and discuss, during his campaign. Such issues include Carlisle Renaissance, CNDR (Northern Bypass), the nuclear industry, loss of our manufacturing industries and, of course, law and order.

He sees a great opportunity for an open, honest and lively campaign.  He looks forward to representing the Liberal Democrats at the next election and hopes to be the next MP for Carlisle.
