I had the pleasure of working with Simon at Ultra Electronics – Airport Information Systems (AIS) between 2000 and 2001. Simon is creative, energetic and highly motivated with great communication skills. He is a well connected professional that always takes the time to support anyone is his network. Testament to this is that we still remain in regular contact several years after having finished working together.
