For those asking who....

Simon joined the RFL Board in July 2014 as Senior Non-Executive Director. He then became the Chair in October 2019, replacing Brian Barwick.

Simon runs a consultancy business advising clients in the sport and leisure industries and charitable third sector. He spent 7 years as Chief Executive of the Jewish Leadership Council. Before that, he had a 20-year career that saw him operate at the highest levels of the sports and media industries. After a period as the senior lawyer at the Premier League, Simon’s career in sport saw him spend four years as Director of Corporate Affairs at The Football Association, followed by a role as COO of England’s Bid to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

He started his career as a lawyer, spending 10 years with ITV, the majority as Director of Rights and Business Affairs.
Away from sport, Simon lives in London with his wife and three children. He is an active participant in community and charitable institutions.

Should be a very interesting evening.
