Has worked in a number of different posts in the United Kingdom’s Department of Trade and Industry covering both policy and project responsibilities.
Joined the DTI’s Environment Unit in 1993, with responsibility for the Department’s interest in the development of policy relating to integrated pollution control, water quality standards and the establishment of the Environment Agency for England & Wales.
Went on a 2-year secondment to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) in November 1999 to assist in the strategic development and implementation of Fit for the Future – a business-led and DTI-backed national best practice campaign aimed at improving overall business competitiveness.
Returned to DTI in November 2001 to work in what was then known as the Sustainable Development Directorate’s Recycling Policy Unit covering Integrated Product Policy (IPP), the proposals for a EEE (eco-design for electrical and electronic equipment) Directive and the Recycling Policy Unit’s interest in the introduction of the ODS (‘Fridge Disposal’) Regulations.
In April 2004, Steve became the head of the Department’s Eco-design & Product Policy Unit and has responsibility for the UK implementation of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, the new EC proposals for an eco-design for Energy-using Products (EuP) framework Directive, Integrated Product Policy (IPP) and DTI’s interest in the Packaging Directive and the enforcement of its Single Market aspects within the UK.
Steve represents the UK Government on the European Commission’s Technical Adaptation Committee for the RoHS Directive and has undertaken speaking engagements at conferences on RoHS issues in Japan, China, South Korea and across western Europe and the US over the past three years.
