His wealth of experience in hospitality, combined with a sharp eye for both operational detail and customer experience, has brought clarity and fresh energy to our strategy. From menu development and pricing advice to his insightful suggestions on service philosophy and data-led decision making, Stephen has shown a rare ability to blend creativity with commercial sense.'' - Kiriakos Baxevanis - Founder, Nostos Restaurant

His approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and always driven by a desire to add genuine value whether through enhancing our visibility, helping us optimise our costs, or simply offering a new way of thinking about customer experience. The care and depth of attention he brings, even in a voluntary capacity, is exceptional. - Kyriakos Baxevanis - Founder, Nostos Restaurant

“Working with Stephen has been enormously helpful for pushing forward Sussex Surplus impact and trajectory. His insights are based on a huge amount of experience and his willingness to engage on a range of areas, in particular communications, has been extremely beneficial for our work.“ - Phil Holtam - Director, Sussex Surplus

"I booked a one-to-one session with Stephen via the Brighton BIPC team. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the insight and support Stephen has shared has been truly incredible. He was able to share his wealth of experience in Marketing and Operations to help my cafe evolve, whilst staying true to its inspiration. His work on branding to rename the café and design our new logo and menu, linked to his inputs on mission, vision and values has given us a clear direction going forwards. - Davinia McGann, Le Petit Velo

“Stephen showed a great understanding of what we are setting out to achieve with Amalfi and his contribution to our branding, menu development and guest communications has been extremely helpful.” - Enzo Marzano & Luca Grassi - Amalfi Italian Restaurant

“He has come up with exciting new menu ideas in addition to finding ways to improve my gross profit and product consistency. His suggestions have been both thoughtful and respectful. It is not a case of him telling you what you have to do, but instead sharing ideas, based around what I’d shared with him as we worked together. Together, I believe we have created something I am truly excited to offer. I cannot thank Stephen enough for his support and wholeheartedly recommend his consultancy.” - Davinia McGann, Le Petit Velo
