Stephen moved to the Highlands in 2012 to work for the Highland Council as Principal Policy Officer.

More recently he has been focusing on the Council’s policy approach to local democracy, poverty, community empowerment, and has been involved in the restructure of the Council.
Before moving to the Highlands, Stephen completed a PhD in Environmental Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh, studying low-cost ways to remove pollutants from water. Before this he completed a Masters in hydrology, and he has a BSc in Physical Geography from the University of Newcastle.
Stephen grew up on a family-run farm in rural Norfolk. He is passionate about the Highlands, hill walking and cricket.
