Simon joined Euroforest in 2007 as a trainee manager, having worked for five years previously driving forestry machinery, principally forwarders in Ireland, Sweden and Denmark. Simon now oversees the Stirling office, becoming Director of Major Clients in 2020.
Simons interest in forestry started at a young age with a number of school work experiences with the forestry commission, after which Simon went on to achieve a BSC (Hons) in forestry. The move to Euroforest was an obvious career progression having developed an excellent understanding of practical timber harvesting in Scandinavia and Ireland.
Simon is now responsible principally for project managing and overseeing a number of large-scale harvesting programs for private timber suppliers to Euroforest across the UK. He is also involved with IT developments within the business and remains very passionate about modern forestry machinery and their productivity.
