Steve Hirst on an array of projects varying in magnitude and importance

For more than three decades I have known and intermittently worked with and alongside Steve Hirst on an array of projects varying in magnitude and importance. Basically, Steve has an attitude “problem”. He is relentlessly positive. Constantly determined to find a way through. If the challenge changes, he adjusts the approach. Steve has a level of courageous authenticity that is rarely found, and it enables him to bring people along a sometimes difficult journey. It is a cornerstone of his leadership. I would highly recommend him for any role or project as his approach involves an immediate injection of energy, focus and frankly, fun.
