Biography

Born in England and raised in Southeast Asia and Kenya, Simon has dual UK-French nationality and worked for many years in banking and finance before his involvement with Shetland’s fisheries. A graduate of Oxford University (Philosophy, Politics and Economics) and City University, London (Law), he was a derivatives specialist at Bank of America, Lehman Brothers and Industrial Bank of Japan in London before setting up his own business in France.

Simon was appointed as the Executive Officer of the Shetland Fishermen’s Association in 2013 and is also a member of the Executive Committee of the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation.  

Reflecting his many years in the French Alps, his books Morts naturelles (2005) and On ne peut pas prier pour la pluie et se plaindre quand on est mouillé (2011) both focus on the complex relationship between people and their natural environment.
