I’ve always found him to be a highly respected and committed professional who brings a great deal of experience, sound judgement and leadership to his work.
“Stephen is also very generous with his time and knowledge and has made a real contribution to supporting and developing others around him. For me, ICE Fellowship is an important recognition of the contribution someone has made to the profession over many years, and I think he thoroughly deserves that recognition.”

Stephen said: “I’m very proud to have been made a Fellow of the ICE. I didn’t find the journey to Chartered Engineer easy, so it’s particularly satisfying to reach this point. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to mentor many engineers through their professional reviews and to become an ICE reviewer myself. Supporting others in their development is something I get a lot from, and I’m pleased that this has become such a rewarding part of my career.”
