As one of the founders of Green Square, Steve decided to start his own agency after working in the printing and creative sector since the age of 17. Steve is a firm believer in old school values, especially when it comes to customer service, and in past roles he had begun to feel disillusioned with the standard of work and service he was witnessing.
Making the move to create Green Square was a bold decision, but one that he hasn’t looked back from. Six years on he is steering his own ship with a carefully selected crew, confident in the knowledge that his agency is leading the way when it comes to quality, service and delivery.
Whilst Steve’s main role at Green Square is to perform in a sales and customer service capacity, his outside interests lead him to perform in a totally different way. Steve used to be the lead singer of punk rock band ‘Special Duties’ with whom he released many records and toured internationally. These days you are more than likely to find him watching his beloved Colchester United or Essex Eagles.

However, her focus at Green Square is creative design and the psychology behind it.
Outside of Green Square, Linda mentors students at a local educational establishment, helping to guide and support young people. She is also a volunteer for a number of youth focused and homeless organisations that carry out amazing work in the local community. When found with some spare time on her hands, Linda loves to research and write about local history and archaeology.
