Simon has a passion for water-related leisure activities, making his work in the sector a natural fit. Through the Skills Scheme at Riverlution, he gained valuable environmental knowledge and qualifications that empower him to enhance local river habitats—from the serene moors to the industrial heart of the city.
His favorite local watercourse is Moss Brook, particularly in spring when the bluebells bloom. Globally, Simon would love to explore the Zambezi River, inspired by the adventurous spirit of Dr. Livingstone; it remains one of the least explored major rivers in the world.
In addition to his role at Riverlution, Simon serves as a Health and Safety Advisor for the River Stewardship Company and volunteers with the Sheaf and Porter Rivers Trust, furthering his commitment to river conservation and community engagement.
