Steve is an experienced non-executive director and audit committee chairman. He is currently a non-executive director and audit committee chair of AA plc and Fenwick Limited.
He is a qualified Chartered Accountant (ICAEW). His career has included 25 years from 1973 to 1998 with Price Waterhouse where he was a senior partner.

John Strachan, intu's chairman, said: "I am delighted that Steve is joining the Board in September. Steve brings extensive experience and expertise to the Board and the Audit Committee which will be of significant benefit to intu. The Board's over-riding objective is to focus on driving intu's new five year transformational strategy with balance sheet issues being addressed as a priority. I look forward to Steve's contribution to the Board's discussions.
Steve is replacing Adèle Anderson as audit chair. There will be a hand over period prior to Adèle stepping down from the Board on 25 October 2019 and I would like to take the opportunity to thank Adèle for her outstanding contribution to the Board and Audit Committee over the past several years."
