Reviews and Recommendations
Simon is a very experienced journalist who can translate complex issues into clear, engaging stories while working to tight deadlines in high pressure situations. Simon’s communication skills, understanding of the political environment and industry knowledge make him stand out, and any organisation would benefit from his ability to deliver results and engage audiences. James Copsey, Head of Corporate Affairs, KPMG Australia
It’s rare these days to find a reporter as passionate and as dedicated to his craft as Simon. He was on the pulse with his coverage of Victorian political affairs at Sky News and was always seeking opportunities to distribute his content across a wide range of platforms. Part of that involved reshaping his stories so that they would appeal to different audiences, such those that follow our Sky News business programs. Simon is an energetic, switched-on and versatile reporter who would make a wonderful addition to any newsroom. Steph Nash, Executive Producer, Business at Australia News Channel, Sky News.
