Simon Smith is a 35 year old Senior Satellite Television Engineer from Harlow. Simon has served in the Royal Artillery as an NCO (non-commissioned officer) and specialised as a surveyor. He served in countries all over the world including Bosnia, Cyprus, The USA, Canada, Northern Ireland and the Middle East.

It was there he trialled the army’s first satellite communications systems. He was given exemplary discharge from service in 1998. He is now a Senior Satellite Engineer responsible for Sky TV installations. Simon is a tough but honest, likeable, salt of the earth kind of guy who claims planning is the key to doing anything well. He loves Sir Alan’s no nonsense approach and claims to have never missed an episode of The Apprentice yet.

He says: “I get things done. I have enthusiasm for everything I do. I am loud, bombastic, I don’t play games. Everyone wants me on their team.”
