“Simon run a company that is scaling upward rapidly but maintains the energy, humour and creativity associated with start-ups in their key period of innovation. It has been great to engage with him and his team, and it's clear that not only does Simon have a strong handle on all aspects of the technology area where he delivers products or services, but he frames everything with a solid strategic vision. I'm very much looking forward to interacting with him again, and meanwhile would recommend him highly as a business partner.”
