Simon’s clients and contacts describe him as a ‘consummate professional’, exemplifying the Bank’s values in a common sense and client-focused way. This is how he has earned their loyalty and respect, built up over a number of years, where they regard him as their ‘finance partner’ – the ‘go to’ person when they are considering property asset investments.
