About
Simon Hewison

Who do I think I am?

I was born in 1970, and spent my formative years in Pembrokeshire, in the bottom left hand corner of Wales.

After getting a degree at Oxford Polytechnic, ended up working there, in Computer Services, doing an awful lot of work indeed, systems admin, systems programming, that sort of thing.

And then one day everything changed. I ended up working for Demon Internet, where I look after the things like customer databases and the like in their Finchley offices. Demon Internet is now part of Thus, but don't ask me about work, because Thus is a plc and the powers that be are afraid of adverse stock market reactions, I'm not supposed to say anything to the public. I guess I can say what I like about Demon Internet Limited though. I cycle to work, which gets a little bit of exercise.

Of course, I can't work all the time, so here's the sort of things that I like doing when I'm not working.:

• Being with Joanne, my wife, who I married on 29th April 2000. We've got a son, Oliver, who is about three and a half years old, and a 22 month old daugher, Amelia..
• Flying aeroplanes. I'm a private pilot.
• Climbing. Mostly on climbing walls. It's exercise, and it requires a bit of thought.
• Out flying kites on a brisk windy morning.
