Steve was delighted to be asked by Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council, to host the Sefton Stars Awards in 2025. The event was staged at the lovely Waterfront Hotel in Southport. He continues to host it to the present day. In 2026, the venue was the Princess Royal Suite at the World famous Aintree Racecourse.

Sefton council in Merseyside, spans a coastal strip from Southport in the north, to Bootle in the south, and an inland area including Maghull With its world-famous, 22-mile coastline, Sefton is home to nearly 280,000 people, to thousands of businesses, to rare wildlife, world famous events and a number of famous faces.

Unlike many awards, there are no nominees and one winner. The afternoon is a celebration of everything great in the borough, and to those who go above and beyond time after time - the unsung heroes.

During the afternoon, guests enjoy an afternoon tea and entertainment.

Steve would like to say thank you to Lauren Rastall.
