Career & Market Experience
After leaving school Simon joined a well-known retailer working in management. After a year he started his career in sales and joined an invoice finance provider who specialised in the recruitment market. Over the last 10 years Simon has worked for several different lenders, dealing with a range of businesses from those just starting up to those with £50million plus turnover.
He has won numerous business awards and has a strong value base of always doing the right thing for the customer. "Understanding the fundamental needs of each business I work with, is one of my major strengths. Funding is complicated with lots of different business options, I get joy from supporting individual businesses individually to get the best facility, pricing and customer support"
Outside of work
Simon spends most of his time with family and friends enjoying the local county, running, hiking or the occasional half marathon.
Anything with an engine Simon is super passionate about whether its cars, motorbikes, or boats. Back in the day he enjoyed some professional go karting before realising he wasn’t the next Lewis Hamilton.

Career & Market Experience
I started my career working for a building firm where I was tasked with looking after the day-to-day finances of the business. This included keeping on top of VAT returns, payroll, bookkeeping and much more.
After starting a family, I began working in schools. I held a role of a Catering Manager for 10 years, 5 of which were in a special needs school. This led me to a new job role as a Special Needs Teaching Assistant. Working with students was one of the most rewarding opportunities and I felt very privileged to do it.
Outside of work
My main hobby is reading, especially anything Danielle Steel, I do love a romantic love story with a happy ending.
I was a football Mum for many years following my son around in all weathers I enjoyed this immensely. We are a family of Crystal Palace fans, and nothing can beat a Saturday afternoon at Selhurst.
