Commenting on his appointment, Simon said, “I am delighted to have joined Global 4 at what is a very exciting time in the company’s development. The successful acquisition of new business from another major PLC in the banking and estate agency sector has taken the company into a new league in respect of managing its finances. With a projected turnover of £15 Million, this is where I am confident that my expertise will be of value to Global 4.”
Throughout my career I have worked for big name companies, it is quite refreshing to now be involved with a smaller organisation that is lean, fit and lacks the bureaucracy and lengthy decision making processes experienced within larger corporate organizations.”
He concluded by saying, “All companies need to be sharp, focused and financially aware in the present economic climate and I look forward to playing my part in ensuring the future success of Global 4.”
