For his academic pursuits, Simon was awarded the A H Woolrych Prize for ‘best overall performance’, and his dissertation remains in-publication forthcoming.
Outside the office
Being a lover of pub-walks, Simon enjoys spending his time ambling in the peace and quiet of the Buckinghamshire countryside joined both by his partner and his dog. He is also keen to maintain a presence within the Gerrards Cross community, both through his volunteering efforts and his attendance of local events. Simon is a snowboarder, a saxophonist, and an enthusiast of dry academic histories of the long-forgotten past.
