Bio

Simon is no stranger to success, as both a business owner and a competitive player in the corporate world…his career to date spans the world of Capital finance raising, tax planning, digital TV, Software, Telecommunications, the leisure industry, manufacturing, distribution and the chemical industry. He was one of a team of four who launched a new division and doubled the share price of a F.T.S.E 100 company now known as Virgin Media Plc in 1999. During his career he has led companies from 11 team members to 11,000 and this has given him an understanding of the challenges and opportunities that exist for businesses whether they are large or small organisations. He has an innate skill in bringing out the best in the people he works with. He strongly believes that “Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution states survival of the fittest- but fittest does not mean the strongest, biggest or richest, it means the most flexible and adaptable. A great Leader tells it like it is and introduces, encourages and inspires new approaches and new thinking.”
