About Steve:I started off in construction at 15 years old as an apprentice Bricklayer in Liverpool, UK after completion I went on to start my own Bricklaying business. At 21 I began sub-contracting work within the Building & Construction Industry with Keith Walton Brickwork and helped build Sainsbury supermarkets over the next 5 years.

I Decided on a new challenge and moved to Perth Australia in 2011 and set up Bricklaying Teams in the Northern Suburbs to meet the demands of the building boom and trained up Bricklaying Apprentices in my teams.
