Simon studied for his LLB Law undergraduate degree at Oxford Brookes University. He then spent 6 months living in North-East Brazil, leading a Tearfund gap year project there.

He then spent two and a half years working as a paralegal in Guildford and then Reading, working in the areas of Commercial Debt Recovery and Professional Regulation.
Originally from Reading, Simon enjoys playing or keeping track of a variety of sports, including tennis, table-tennis, badminton, spikeball, F1 and skiing.
