In Loving Memory of....

Steve Harrison

SE Mentor

“I’ve only known him a short time but his kindness and generosity was apparent instantly. The minute I had a mentor question he phoned with advice, humour and reassurance. On one occasion I was unsure I knew enough about business and questioned if I was doing enough for the people I was mentoring. He said “you care enough to walk beside them and you know enough to ask them questions so they can work out for themselves what they don’t know and need to find out for themselves.” Then he said learn to trust you’re doing enough, and don’t ask more of yourself than that.” – Colleague

“He helped me navigate an extremely difficult time in my life and pieced me back together when I was at my most fragile – and through all the struggles, his encouragement and faith in me never waivered, and for that I will always be eternally grateful. I was able to catch up with him recently… We laughed and smiled, and he told me how proud he was of me, and I will hold onto that.” – Beneficiary
