Stephen has written and lectured widely, has been a visiting examiner at a number of schools of architecture and visiting Professor at the Birmingham School of Architecture and the Belfast School of Architecture.

He was awarded an MBE for services to architecture in the Queens Birthday Honours List, 1998.

On taking up his new role Stephen said: “Collaboration is the very essence of the Construction Industry Council and I am honoured to have been given the opportunity to contribute to it.”

“The construction industry plays an integral role in our economy. And there are a number of challenges that we now face, including Brexit, the impact on labour and professional skills supply and the lack of diversity among construction professionals.  A cultural change is needed to bring a shared commitment to improving the quality and safety of the construction industry product.
