You can call it a hobby but to Steve climbing rocks is an obsession. Limestone cliffs in the Yorkshire Dales or Southern Spain are where you’ll most likely find him, provided it isn’t raining. When it is raining there’s always that ever expanding record collection to tend to and a cocker spaniel (with one eye) who needs walking.

Before joining InterWorks Steve’s career included using spatial analysis to discover the most remote areas of the Cairngorms National Park and interrogating Greater Manchester Police databases to determine where to initiate crime prevention measures, always trying to make sense of data. Working for InterWorks provides him with the opportunity to see new, varied datasets all the time, feeding his passion for finding that signal amongst the noise.
