Yorkshire born and bred, Simon started recruiting in 2004 and has since recruited across Europe and Asia recruiting for some of the biggest companies in the world, from Google to GSK and HSBC to Shell. Returning to Harrogate in 2015, he realised that, whilst there are a lot of recruitment companies out there, very few were prioritising the client’s or candidate’s needs above their own. Nor were they working hard to understand the people they were working with or to build trust. With that in mind Simon set up GPS Talent Solutions with some simple goals in mind – to save our clients time and money, to reduce their risk and to become a trusted recruitment partner. Since then GPS Return was born and although the goals remain the same, he has committed himself to a new mission - to make it a normal part of anyone's career to have a break and to easily return to work. A keen cyclist, Simon is also a big Rugby and F1 fan although he is happiest when spending time with Miranda and their two children.
