Steve has over twenty years’ marketing experience, helping establish, grow and reposition brands such as Tui, Virgin and Monarch and in Director roles at Shearings and Kuoni. Pretty much the full suite of ‘Planes, Trains and Automobiles’.
Steve joined On the Beach in March 2019, initially as a consultant, before taking on the Marketing Director role. The last two years have been especially challenging for the travel industry. During this time Steve repositioned OntheBeach.co.uk with a distinctive brand campaign, as a founding client of Uncommon, and a few cameos from Iggy Pop. At the peak of the Covid crisis, Steve’s role and responsibility broadened to take on responsibility for the Customer Service and Sales teams. This helped establish a holistic customer-driven focus during the most turbulent of times, which included the decision to temporarily stop selling holidays during the summer of 2021.
Steve has a degree, post graduate diploma and mini MBA in Marketing as well as a couple of IPA effectiveness awards and the coveted most improved under 10s footballer award from the Bobby Charlton Soccer School in 1988. Steve is an active mentor to the digital community in the North-West and is living as a Scouser in-exile, in Manchester with his wife, two daughters and cat.
