He takes time out of his busy schedule to enjoy head scratches, strokes and walks around Parsons Green.
Simba - Head of People
Simba joined Melbury Wood in 2020 and heads up our people department. Aside from running our HR function, and being completely qualified to do so, his love for play has also led him to plan and run our team socials and CSR initiatives.
