Working with Simon was such a pleasure and genuinely a real highlight of my time working at the University of Leeds. I found Simon to be such a genuinely kind, sunny and knowledgeable colleague and I learned so much from him during our time working together. My last in-person interaction with him was when he interviewed me for a role earlier this year, and I had to do a ten-minute brief with him impersonating Tom Riordan. He was so kind, putting me at ease and even making me laugh during the interview which is such a testament of his kind nature as so many people have attested to. I will really miss Simon
