Steve has been a painter ever since he left school and his forte used to be car body repairs. That was Steve's career up until around 2003 when he got made redundant. He worked doing fire alarms for a couple of years to pay the bills and then saw a job at Altamura for a bike painter. After a few years of hard graft, Steve moved up to paint shop manager and met Tom in the process. In 2007, Steve and Tom launched Image Design Custom and the rest is history.
