Steven Richardson
Honorary Life Time Chairman
Steve oversaw all aspects of the business from its foundation back in 2002 to February 2021 when he decided it was time to have a change in life and decided to sell the company.
The new owners, Anthony and Peter, asked Steve to accept the honorary position of ‘Life Time Chairman’ so that his association with the company continued, Steve was happy to accept.
Steve started in the transport industry at the grand old age of 5 when he used to help his father deliver all sorts of goods around the country in the school holidays, then when he was 12 he started as a Saturday boy in his father’s yard and at that age he was hooked on transport and everything that went with it.
On leaving school at 16 he joined his father’s business full time spending many years firstly as warehouseman then as a driver, moving on to an office planner until 2000 when an opportunity arose for him to go it alone which is when STR Logistics was born!
Steve is a keen golfer and likes spending time on the golf course in his spare time. He will always find a few spare minutes to spend time with his dog Toby.
