4 minutes with Simon

What do you do at 4Sight?

I am the Managing Director and a Founding Partner. I manage the day to day wellbeing of our staff, clients and business. A key part of my role is our strategy and how we can really make a difference by challenging the “status quo” in our market by finding new and improved ways of delivering solution and service performance to our clients.

What kind of experience do you have?

I have been in the communications industry for 29 years. I spent the vast majority of this time working with my current business partners developing Echo Communications into an industry award winning solutions provider and top 3 Mitel Partner in the UK. Following the sale of this business in 2007 I remained involved where I was the Enterprise Business Group Sales Director with the responsibility of managing the sales, client management and technical design services.

Where would you rather be (if not working)?

If you had asked that 10 years ago it would have been a straight forward answer relating to all things boats. However the arrival of my son and then daughter dragged me kicking and screaming into the real world where I now enjoy being a dad with all the trimmings.

Tell us something that you do really well?

I understand people and how to help them be the very best they can be. We are a people business and a highly skilled and motivated team can do amazing things.
