STEP 30th Anniversary

In July 2021, STEP celebrated its 30th birthday having held its inaugural meeting, which appointed the first Council, on 4 July 1991 and registering as a Private Limited Company on 25 July.

We will be marking this important milestone throughout our 30th year – looking back at our impact, celebrating the important contributions of individuals that have brought us to where we are today, and looking forward to the next 30 years and the role STEP will play in shaping the industry.
