What Simon Stands For 

‘I grew up in Darlington and raise my two children here with my wife. I moved my business from London to Grange Road, Darlington and have never looked back. The Tees Valley has so much potential and has been so badly let down by the Conservatives. This election is an opportunity to vote for meaningful change that will tackle our main problems as a region and bring real growth. Real growth that confronts child poverty, improves vital bus services and gives us the skills we need to succeed.’
