Bio
Keith Sharkey
Simon managed the Racing post end of an integration project involving the supply of racing Post data to the new Totesport site. Most suppliers give you the out of the box solution, he however worked hard to help us ensure our offering was as we wanted, offered ideas for improvements and delivered on time. It felt like a partnership, which is not always the case with suppliers. He is good guy,he likes a laugh and is true to his word, I would definitely work with him again.

I've worked with Simon on a number of collaborations between William Hill and the Racing Post and always found him to be most professional in his approach. While 'batting his corner' for his employers, he also understands the needs of clients and is prepared to work together to solve issues. His knowledge of the value and usage of content in the betting industry is first class.
