Steve Dopson has built a distinguished career in electronic component distribution, starting in 1994 with one of Europe’s largest independent distributors. By 2000, he had played a pivotal role in the company’s growth, helping it become a top-ten global independent distributor and holding the position of worldwide vice president.
In 2006, Steve was approached by Azego AG to help relaunch the company in the UK, which he accepted. Azego TS Ltd reopened its doors in January 2007. Following a management buyout in 2008, Azego TS Ltd became an independent entity, thriving under Steve’s leadership. The company grew significantly, employing 50 people worldwide with offices in France, Italy, and Southeast Asia.
Beyond his professional achievements, Steve is a dedicated family man with four children, including two young ones who keep him on his toes. Despite his busy family life, he is an avid golfer, managing to maintain a seven handicap despite limited practice. Additionally, Steve has pursued a lifelong ambition of car racing, competing in the Ferrari Challenge UK series. In an impressive debut, he achieved third place in his first season, marking a remarkable start to his motorsport career.
