Simon Spooner
Director and CSO (Chief Search Officer)
Si likes - Great food, personal development books, travel and pretty much every sport you can think of!
Si dislikes - Fake people, social media, people and businesses that are closed to innovation.
Having worked all over the world for global corporations and start-ups, as well as previously running his own hospitality business, there is nothing Si likes more than to help businesses grow and achieve their full potential through successful projects, change, searches, team builds and business mergers.
Si is more than happy to work on straight forward projects, but the magic often happens when Si gets involved with the tricky situations, the ones that require an abundance of creativity and lateral thinking, Si will always work smartly in these situations to achieve the biggest impact for a business.
