For more than 10 years, Simon has been at the forefront of the sport, covering some of the most iconic races in Formula 1 history. Now, he’s available as a popular motorsport speaker and event host, using his platform to discuss his career at length.
After leaving university, Simon spent some time working as a grain trader in Lincolnshire. But, it was clear that his passion was sports journalism and he gained work experience at Sky Sports working as a runner. After spending some time in this role, he got his break and passed a screen test after many months.
This led him to become a presenter of rugby union in 2002, and beginning his broadcasting career. As one of the most inspirational motorsport speakers around, at all of his keynote events, he can discuss his journey from runner to one of Sky’s most well-respected presenters, displaying all of the skills necessary to achieve your dreams. Simon’s anecdotes transcend sports broadcasting and can be applied to anyone’s life or career.
In 2012, Sky Sports purchased the British rights to Formula 1 and launched a brand new channel – Sky Sports F1. Simon was chosen as the channel’s main presenter, fronting coverage of every Grand Prix. Over the next decade, Simon has become a mainstay along the channel along with a whole host of ex-driver pundits.
During this time, Simon’s charisma and likeable personality have seen him earn an excellent rapport with drivers and team principals alike. Regularly interviewing some of the sport’s biggest names in the sports, at all of his motorsport speaking events he can explain his career in the paddock and discuss what it’s like to be at the forefront of one of the biggest sports in the world.
