Demonstrating dedication and skill, he quickly advanced to lead his own team, focusing on aluminium and timber installations, as well as sealed unit replacements—a period when UPVC was still emerging in the U.K. In 1980, Steve briefly shifted to manufacturing sealed units but returned to his passion for window and door fitting in 1981. Over the next 13 years, he honed his expertise, adapting seamlessly as UPVC became the industry standard.​ Steve joined Coral Windows in 1994, expanding his repertoire to include conservatory installations alongside windows and doors. In 2005, Steve joined a fabrication facility in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, where he dedicated 15 months, training local workers who were accustomed to aluminium on the nuances of UPVC window and door installations.​ Upon returning to the UK in 2006, Steve returned to Coral windows and assumed the role of Conservatory Manager, a position he held for six years before being promoted to Head of Installations in 2012. In 2015, after recovering from a stroke, Steve resumed his role as Conservatory Manager, a testament to his resilience and commitment to the company.​ Steve has a passion for music, mainly creating new songs via various apps, he has had 5 songs played on the radio in the U.K. Reflecting on his 47-year career, Steve remarks on the swift passage of time and the continuous advancements in the glazing industry, emphasising that every day remains an opportunity for learning.
