His experience includes General Manager UK and Europe for Olympus Sports where he was responsible for driving revenues in excess of £275m. In the early 90’s he became European Retail Director for Sock Shop where he was responsible for growing revenues from £25m to £35m over a 2 year period. Stephen went on to build his own 14 strong chain of high end retail footwear stores ‘Constables’, revenues were grown to £3m and the business was successfully sold on. In 1994 Stephen established his own retail, mail order and eCommerce marketing consultancy “VMS”, working with a number of high profile retailers wishing to extend their offer and develop a multi-channel strategy. In 1999 Stephen was invited to launch the highly successful eCommerce strategy and platform for N Brown plc (JD Williams a £600m turnover business) as their Group Head of eBusiness, eCommerce now represents over 45% of N Browns turnover. Following his involvement with N Brown Stephen went on to build a retail consulting Services Company ‘Amity Business Solutions’. In conjunction with his business consulting activities Stephen developed and built one of the UK’s top 5 e-mail marketing platforms e-MSG. in October 2003 in order to achieve a step change in both business propositions he merged his business consulting services with Marketing Innovation Group (MIG). A significant part of this merger was the sale of his e-mail distribution platform “e-MSG” along with the delivery of a high profile client base of multi-channel retailers. (MIG) - Is a data and digital direct marketing solutions business. MIG has several blue-chip clients and household names who are 'locked-in' on long term contracts to provide a variety of data/digital services from within its web based 'Intelligent Marketing Platform'.
