Max White - Always in our Thoughts

Saturday 17th August 2019 will mark the four-year anniversary of the passing of our friend and former Managing Director, Max White.    Not only did Max join 1st Step on day one back in September 2004 and become a bedrock of what we are about, but he became a close friend and colleague to everyone he worked with – colleagues, clients and industry associates alike.  He had an aura of calm and sensibleness that belied his years and instilled confidence in people he met.
