He was also a senior firearms and explosives enquiry officer for northwest London.

Simon is a qualified APSI and BASC shooting instructor and with his vast shooting experience across all fields, he is exceptionally well placed to support private clients, estates, overseas visitors and the gun trade across the UK. His background also includes the highest level of police pursuit driver classification.
