Bio
Amanda Warburton
Simon was my manager for quite a few years and was definitely the best one I had. Simon always made time to talk to me if I needed him, he is understanding, knowledgeable, reliable, trustworthy and if he says he is going to do something then you know it will be done. Simon has helped me enormously in my career taking me from an admin person to the lead finance specialist in a short period of time, his mentor ship is always going to be appreciated. I still work with Simon on a current account and it is a pleasure reporting back into him. Simon has a very broad range of skills and will be of huge benefit in any organisation.
Dave Ewart
I've known Simon for around 15yrs now, I've worked for him and along side him. Simon is someone I trust, if he says he is going to do something he does it, and does it well. He is a pleasure to work with, has a smile for everyone and ALWAYS makes time for others. I've learnt a lot from him over they years and would relish the opportunity to work along side him again. Fantastic management skills, very well organised and always delivers on his commitments. Simons expertise lies in Project & Programme Management latterly specialising in PMO leadership but has a broad range of skills gained with experience in many roles and Client engagements. A great asset to any account or organisation and easy to recommend.
