Steve Fox
Steve's distinguished career in the financial services industry spanned some 30 years, latterly as Regional Head of Sales for a Global Broker. A combination of his professional approach, high standard of business ethics and subtle management skills helped to shape his career and provided the ability to work closely with an array of fascinating global businesses. Steve's ability to quickly understand other organisations operations, supply chains and future plans assisted him in advising clients on how best to protect both current and future revenue streams. Frustrated with the way that some businesses potential is constrained, Steve used his in-depth knowledge of business and communication skills to set up his own consultancy to help companies innovate and generate further revenue with the use of bespoke content.
Steve is proud to be working with Merlin Land Planning & Development on some exciting new projects including Merlin’s exciting new Land Drone Marketing Brochure © and Planning Presentation.
