We are delighted to introduce Simon Robinson F01 as a new overseas rep. Simon is based just outside Zurich and would be pleased to hear from OCs who are either living or travelling to Switzerland. If you would like to make contact, please email community@canford.com and we will pass on his email addresses.
Simon's bio:
"Having left Canford in 2001 I went travelling with some good friends from Canford for a year.
I then moved to Manchester for my university studies...that took a bit longer than I had planned but all ended with the right result!
Since 2007 I have been working in Wealth Management, in London for a year, before moving to Hong Kong for 10 years where I worked as Partner for a FTSE 100 listed company.
I have been living just outside Zurich in Switzerland since 2019. I'm married and have two young kids..that definitely keep me busy outside of work.
I love to read, run, hike and enjoy current affairs. I'm still an avid rugby fan and enjoy the occasional glass of Swiss wine!
Please don't hesitate to make contact if you are in the Swiss region."
Thank you to Simon for volunteering for the role.
