Steve Sutton, Senior Partner

Steve has always felt that Kent provides many different challenges. It has a very long history and a deep-rooted culture, yet has always been influenced by its closeness to Europe and the wider world. The businesses are wonderfully varied: from agriculture and education through medicine, law and manufacture to tourism and technology.

Therefore as senior partner Steve has continued to see Canterbury as the base for office and regulatory work, providing a well trained, dedicated staff. Having maintained his interest in education, Steve believes it is crucial to provide training for both professional and clerical staff to maintain the health and vigour of the practice.

At the same time, visiting the clients is essential to understanding each business. Steve’s continued links in the city require him to spend two days a week in the city visiting various clients as well as regular travelling throughout the Southeast and the wider UK. His overseas travel has included business trips to the Bahamas, America, Greece, Spain, France, Belgium, Holland and Ireland. He sees this as a vital part of the routine and a valuable part of maintaining a broad economic perspective.
