After spending time as head of commercial production, England started a partnership with Alan Fawkes and set up Alfasound in 1979. England and Alfasound were one of the earliest proponents of jingle packages in the United Kingdom.[5] The company produced many jingle packages for UK and European radio stations from its base in Sale, Greater Manchester; one such package was for the Italian radio station, Radio Nova International.[6]
Alan Fawkes and Steve England parted company in 1997 after serious disagreements and England set up his own production company. In 2001, he merged his company with S2Blue.[7] He acts as the UK and Ireland agent for Jam Creative Productions and PAMS productions of Dallas, Texas, meaning that stations can have many classic radio jingles re-sung with their name.[citation needed]
England retired from the business in 2011, but occasionally still performs voice-overs.[citation needed] As of 2023, England presents weekend shows on Atlantis Radio featuring vintage jingles and 60s songs.[9]
