Since moving into training 9 years ago (following a successful career in corporate procurement), Simon has trained well over 10,000 people, many of which comprise some of the brightest business minds around in European business today. Top people from the likes of Google, Nike, Sony Entertainment, Virgin Management, and Pfizer have been trained by Simon.

Simon is passionate about helping people develop, and genuinely believes that absolutely anyone has the capacity to excel. It merely requires the right combination of applied knowledge and attitude. On that note, AME literally stands for 'Attitude Means Everything', and Simon is constantly researching and refining his ideas and those of the best thinkers around the world so that AME can provide real solutions to its clients which will enable them and their people to excel.

You can therefore be assured that Simon and his key trainers / coaches will bring fresh ideas that will not just provoke thought, but will lead to lasting change and success. Simon has recently worked with teams from Royal Mail, Medical Protection Society, GSK, M&S, O2, Barclays, MTV and Google.
