Since he joined Quietroom in 2007, Simon has created communications strategy and content for all kinds of clients. He has advised countless pension schemes in tricky situations, often against the clock and sometimes under the glare of the media.
He cut his teeth on controversial scheme changes at Kodak, BHS and British Steel. He led our work on the UK’s first ever GMP equalisation communications, and he’s been working with the Universities Superannuation Scheme since 2019, including on their complex and much-scrutinised valuation process.
