I had the pleasure of working with Steve from ‘94 to ‘98 in Tovil and on several overseas visits. The vision he brought to the table was remarkable. He was a great guy to work with and also socialize with, as is evident from the many photos posted here. I last saw Steve in Vegas at CES in 2002. His enthusiasm and energy was unstoppable and he’ll be...more

I first met Steve in Maidstone in 2001 when I joined KEF. In the many years that followed, we not only became successful colleagues together, but also good friends in private.

Steve's influence can still be felt at KEF through the many products and technologies that he worked on and the excellent team that he helped put together. He will be remembered for his clear enthusiasm for the brand, determination, and his love of music. My thoughts are with all of Steve's family and friends.

Just before his retirement , I worked with him again on a special project. I could not have worked with a more knowledgeable and resourceful colleague, making the work enjoyable and efficient. This news is a gr...more

He has the character of an artist, very particular on certain d...more

I have worked with Steve from 2011 to 2017 before. The last time I have met Steve is during lunch with him in Hong Kong in May 2017. He shared his experience in Hi-Fi industry.
