what they say

Simon and I have worked together a number of times over the past few years.

He listens loudly and knows when to how and when to support people. Plus he isn't afraid to muck in to support the team when the going gets tough.

During our first project together I watched Simon embrace a completely new way of thinking that helped him and his team over come a big challenge. Having that capacity to be open to change and new ideas I believe makes him stand out as a great leader.
