Louis Stephen

I have lived in and around Worcester for the majority of my life moving to the Bath Road area in 1997. I am 59 years old, married and have two grown up children who attended Nunnery Wood High School and Sixth Form College. Until early 2015 I worked as a senior manager at Worcester Bosch in Production Engineering as well as Change Management in the Service Department. In previous roles I have worked within Project Management and Purchasing departments. In all these roles I have needed good communication skills and sometimes needed to take hard decisions. Much of my work is focused on creating and driving through changes within a continuous improvement culture where gritty determination needs to be balanced with a real understanding that it is the people and their needs and aspirations that really make an organisation strong. Having spent decades in industry with some well paid jobs I have decided to now put something back into our community by standing in and winning a seat on Worcester City Council. A few years ago I have had the great honour of being Mayor of Worcester.
