Where to start with Simon! The definition of a true ID if I've ever worked with one. He kept me and others across the business on track and accountable that we were working with clear outcomes in mind that would have true impact.

Beyond his personable and transparent working principles, he asks articulate and considered questions to ensure he's producing to 100% meet the needs. His designs, whether that be e-learning creation, learning toolkits or any other learning resource, were always applauded for relevance, creativity and supporting those who needed them in the moment of need.

Beyond the high quality of his work, I'll also always remember our conversations and collaboration. I couldn't recommend him enough for any ID or Learning Experience Design needs.

I have personally worked with Simon at KFC UKI on a number of projects over the last few years. I have found him to work collaboratively and with a pragmatic view, ensuring that all opinions are listened to and taken on board. He is diligent and a great partner to work with.

Simon is a super talented Instructional Designer and project manager who works tirelessly to get the most from the key business stakeholders and SME’s to create high quality Learning solutions. Simon is self motivated and driven and is a genuine pleasure to have in a team, he brings his humour and warmth to the work environment that helps to build meaningful relationships with the people around him. His interest in learning technology helps to push the boundaries of his work and stretch organisational thinking. He would be an asset to have on any project!.

Head of UK Operations Training and Development

Andrew Francks

KFC UK & Ireland

Simon transformed my flat workbooks into interactive online modules that allowed the learner to engage with the content on a deeper level. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Simon because he brought design expertise and, at the same time, was very open to my input.

Director, Global Professional Development

Vanessa William

Bain & Company

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Simon for three years. When I first joined the office, Simon was instrumental in me feeling welcomed and settled, as a friendly face and character. Throughout this period, he has been a valued thought partner, always making time to discuss challenges and help others, with a natural curiosity and enthusiasm that means he gets involved and excited about those challenges even if they are not in his direct remit. The result of this is that he delivers results, especially across training, that make a different to learners in and above restaurant roles.

Risk and Compliance Manager

Ashleigh Roberts

KFC UK & Ireland

Simon is a pleasure to work with - he always comes with an upbeat and positive influence. He is exceptionally talented at instructional design, and helped to produce many engaging pieces of content whilst working at Bain. I would highly recommend Simon - he is a truly valuable asset to any eLearning/Digital team.

Manager, Digital Learning Experience Designer

Jessica Rixon

Bain & Company

I worked with Simon over a period of about 12 months. He was a highly talented designer. He designed a number eLearning modules to suit a wide range of levels and abilities. I was not knowledgeable in this area, he brought me on a journey ensuring we kept to a tight time frame while teaching me along the way.

He has the ability to bring you out of your comfort zone and try new things. The result was brilliant, interactive and highly applicable to a large audience. He is an expert in his area, but also humble in his ability to teach others. I would highly recommend Simon and hope to get the chance to work him again.

Director, European Human Capital and CSS Talent

Tracy Quinn

Bain & Company

Simon has an eye for detail that leads to projects he’s working on being delivered to an exceptional quality. He gets right to the heart of an issue by engaging with SMEs to question and advise on desired outcomes and objectives. Some of the work Simon has done on creating engaging elearning content and creating a library of bitesize training videos has transformed our Team Member training curriculum over the past couple of years. And above all, he’s one of the most decent human beings you could ever hope to meet, a pleasure to have on the team.

Manager, Internal Communications, Training and Education

Chris Taylor

KFC UK & Ireland

Simon is a highly experienced, meticulous instructional designer. He communicates well with people at different levels and ensures that solutions being developed are right for the business and the learners. He works well with subject matter experts and knows what questions to ask to get results.

He has a good eye for design as well as strong project management skills. I worked alongside Simon and hope to do so again one day in the future!
