Stephen was a tremendously kind and wise colleague for the five years that I worked with him at TLS. He generously gave his time and support to me when I joined the organization, and then latterly when we worked in the same directorate I was blown away by how hardworking he was, but always ready to have a laugh with it. He carried huge respect across the legal sector, and rightly so. It’s hard to think of anyone quite like Stephen, who will be missed and valued by so many.
