SIMON HOOD
The Straight-Talking Entrepreneur Who Gets Things Done
​​​​
​
Simon Hood is a rule-breaker in a world full of rule-followers. He’s an award-winning entrepreneur, investor, and keynote speaker with a career defined by one thing: asking bigger.
​
A marketing strategist by background, Simon has spent the last 15+ years turning ideas into impact. He’s built brands, scaled international businesses, and challenged every “safe” option along the way. Recognised as one of the UK’s Top 100 Most Influential People in Business, he’s won leadership awards, delivered million-pound growth, and earned the King’s Award for Enterprise.
​
In 2016, Simon was headhunted to lead sales and marketing at John Mason International Movers. Just five years later, at the height of the COVID pandemic, he completed a management buy-out. Under his leadership, the company doubled its turnover and became a major force in global mobility, now handling over 10,000 international relocations each year.
​
But Simon’s impact extends far beyond a single business. From guerrilla marketing for The Killers in the early 2000s, to launching a poker app with over a million downloads, to sending helium balloons to King Charles with a note that (somehow) worked - Simon’s career is proof that fortune really does favour the bold.
