After this he started his own internet shopping business. In 2007 he entered reality television programme The Apprentice competing to win a £100,000 a year job with world renowned businessman Lord Sugar.

Fighting off thousands of people who applied for the show Simon won the competition and was assigned a role working in Lord Sugar’s estate business Amsprop. He had an extremely successful period in the position, relaunching the company website and becoming a qualified surveyor. After three years, he left to launch his own venture becoming a proprietor of Ambrose Property Services for eight years.
