STEPHEN DAVIES

EDITORIAL

Steve has been a journalist since leaving school, hacking his way into the media jungle via a much-respected training course in Hastings, Sussex. There he met Mark Norman and, courtesy of a shared love of rock music which overcame early tensions over the cut of a particular suit, they’ve been friends ever since.

Steve’s professional journey has taken him around the country, cutting his teeth and honing his craft on regional weekly and daily newspapers before writing for Hayters, one of the most prestigious sports agencies in the world and then entering the competitive world of freelance writing.

He has covered everything from the FIFA World Cup to the Slough Town reserves and written for such titles as The Mail on Sunday, the Racing Post, Total Sport, Rugby World and Chelsea Village, with countless blogs also contributed to a variety of websites.

As a writer and editor, Steve has been involved in many publications, brochures and websites for, among others, the Department for Education, the Department of Health, local government and a local clinical commissioning group - work that emphasises an absolute passion for health and education.

Happiness in downtime is a round of golf, a long-distance bike ride, watching football, listening to rock music and Sunday lunch at any pub where the specials are spelled correctly. Steve lives in the New Forest, is happily married and a proud dad of three.
