Simon Davies - Adam Davies
Simon Davies has lived a varied life so far
After completing a BSc in Chemistry at the University of Bristol, UK, he worked as a Science Technician in secondary schools, before moving to Spain with his wife and two children to work as an Evangelical Pastor.
After five years the family returned to the UK and Simon is now an Assistant Editor at an international business magazine based in Norwich, UK.
His interests are as varied as his background - from science to the business world and from Spain to the evangelical church, his articles are well-structured and full of interesting and useful information.
