Steve Round

“Steve is an extraordinary innovator and has a real passion for work which combines the need for great project management and a commitment to Social Justice”

“I've recently been lucky to work with Steve in a tangential way on the work he has been doing to create a current account mechanism for the unbanked or unwaged based on modern technology delivery which squares the circle of providing a solution to a challenging client group in an affordable way. The advent of UWP has given this massive recent impetus - if we want people to take charge of their lives when they have had no experience of doing so in the past, we need tools, not wishful thinking. Steve's work here comes first and foremost from a desire to "give a hand-up, not a hand-out", but is combined with commercial nous and impresiive forward vision. But rather than relate to you Steve's command of complex financial formulas (which he has), I would prefer to emphasise the fact that if you go in at the break three down, after a few jokes (and possibly a ubiquitous Red Bull) from Steve you would come out feeling anything was possible - and it probably will be.”
