Bio
Helga Zunde-Baker
I worked with Steve for just over a year and I only wish I'd had the opportunity to work with him for longer. He's very dedicated and thorough, with a superb eye for detail. Steve is also very personable and a solid team player, with a great sense of humour. It was a pleasure having him on the team.

I worked alongside Steve for over 10 years and you honestly couldn't wish for a nicer, hard working man to be part of your company. He is incredibly experienced, efficient and a reliable person to work with, with advanced skills and knowledge in every aspect of Production work. Steve was very popular among his colleagues, suppliers, authors and external editorial teams for his dedicated attitude and great sense of humour. His attention to detail and ability to hit the very tight deadlines set was supreme. He was also always one of the first members of the team to offer help and advice when required, and has amazing problem solving skills. Steve would be a tremendous asset to any organisation and I count myself very lucky to not only have worked with him but also to now count him as a friend.
