I’m Simon.  I’d like to introduce myself to my new connections. I have always loved construction, right from when I was a wee lad. From the age of 16, I knew I wanted to work in the commercial field of construction. Having taken the educational route, and university to achieve an honours Degree in Quantity Surveying I decided I wanted to work for large Building Contractors to gain experience of large construction projects, contracts and commercial management. I enjoyed over 20 years working for contractors such as Mansell, Costain, Wates and Engie. I gained massive experience and realised I had a talent in the field with great commercial and contractual awareness. I was missing something though. The opportunity to grow my own empire, under my own terms, allowing me to take control of my own time and create my own economy. Don’t get me wrong, working for large organisations can be extremely rewarding in your younger years, you get to meet some great people, with great qualities, who inspire you to be better. Realising, after I built my family home that I was more entrepreneurial, I needed to think outside the box – how could I make the transition from employee, to self-employed and ultimately employer? Property. Always loved property, commercial or residential. I also realised that I needed to spend more time focussing on ME; my mindset, my skillset and my network. Property is a long process, not a get rich quick, but a wealth process that grows with time. “You don’t know, what you don’t know”, is a favourite phrase of mine. I am a family man, I enjoy football, golf and skiing in my spare time. If we have recently connected, I would love to know more about you, and what you do.
