Bio
David Shapton
Simon stepped into the demanding role of Deputy Editor of www.redsharknews.com at very short notice, and immediately demonstrated that he's an extraordinarily capable writer and editor. At times, while I was travelling, Simon ran the whole operation, seamlessly and extraordinarily successfully. He's a perfect team worker - respecting and appreciating his colleagues. He is also fast to spot a news opportunity and at times he has single-handedly taken the initiative and written pieces that have attracted extremely heavy traffic. More than anything, Simon is a person you would want to work with. Sharp-witted and always with an interesting angle on a story, he's also a technology native with a fascination not just for the video world but the wider tech domain that exists around it. "Recommendation" seems an inadequate word. I would re-employ Simon again in a heartbeat.
