A qualified chartered accountant, Simon has more than 20 years of experience and a proven track record for driving company performance.
Commenting on the appointment, Bidvest Noonan’s Group CFO, Michael Kennedy, said: “I am delighted to welcome Simon to our team. He joins us at a key stage in our development. His wealth of financial experience and deep facilities industry knowledge will be invaluable to us as we continue to grow our brands.”
