In 2011 upon returning to London, Simon spent a year and a half working at PwC as part of its Risk Advisory Group, providing consultancy services to some of the UK’s largest Wholesale Banks.
From 2012 onwards, having spent nearly 30 years in dealing rooms, Simon set up a business as a banking consultant, initially becoming involved with holding banks to task for mis-selling of complex financial products, and then helping clients gain redress and compensation.
