Simon Page joined the South Warwickshire University Foundation Trust as a Non-Executive Director in February 2016 and is currently its Deputy Chair. This followed a career of over 30 years, with wide ranging leadership experience in the private sector as Chairman, Managing Director and Director. Simon's career, prior to South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust, centred around retailing and manufacturing businesses operating within the consumer and building products markets.
He has a strong background in business transformation, marketing, sales and commercial leadership, working for some well known blue-chip brands, in both the prestige branded and mass-market arenas; these include Aga, Fired Earth, Villeroy & Boch and Rangemaster. This has given him a clear insight into working for complex international organisations, change management, strategy development and delivery, and of the importance of delivering success with and through others, especially in periods of change.
