Stephen Montgomery

Steve has had an association with the Club since the 1990’s and was appointed to the Board of Directors in March 2023.

Originally from rural NSW, Steve went to school in Wests heartland of Campbelltown and now resides in the inner West. His formal qualifications include a Bachelor of Science Degree (Agriculture), Diploma in Education, Diploma in Legal Practice and an Honours Degree in Law.

A lawyer by profession, he was admitted as a barrister in 1991 and has held a solicitor’s practicing certificate for about 30 years.

Steve has conducted his own law practice for about 25 years after serving in several senior public service positions, where his expertise was rewarded with a premier’s public sector management award.

Steve was also previously a schoolteacher and a farmer.

For much of the last 20 years, Steve has held a range of Judicial and quasi-judicial positions, where his speciality is administrative law.

Away from work, Steve has a passion for music and is a keen rugby league follower.

Steve’s many and varied roles in his working life mean he brings to the Board many different skills such as strategic planning, analytical thinking, evidence-based decision-making and, as with most folk reared in rural areas, a healthy dose of common sense.

The future growth and development of the Holman Barnes Group is Steve’s priority in his role as a Director.
