Steve Clark
I grew up in Kent & Tunbridge Wells which has always been a vibrant and fascinating place. I have always had a passion for history while sharing stories with people, exposing the hidden gems of the towns illustrious history.
Before starting Hidden Gems I was Managing Director at Chilstone where I spent fifteen years involved with the Chelsea Flower Show, winning several Gold Medals. Clients were fascinated when I took them on tours of the show which is where I developed my love of sharing information with people.
I look forward to meeting you on one of my tours in the near future.
