After his father took his own life in 2015, Simon presented a special edition of Panorama, in which he investigated the circumstances around his father’s death in order to explain why more middle-aged men kill themselves than any other group.
He is also the co-presenter of the podcast Good Bad Millionaire, which was voted Best Business Podcast at the 2024 British Podcast Awards, and has also contributed financial columns to Men’s Health.
He explained a complex and challenging topic with clarity and humour, and he was brilliant at the Q&A. The audience was mesmerised!
