Simon Record

Operations Director

After a complete career shift from life as a lorry driver, Simon stepped into the world of financial planning in 2023 and now plays a central role as Operations Director and co-owner of Cre8 Wealth Management alongside his wife, Siobhan. With a calm, practical approach and a genuine passion for getting things running like clockwork, Simon focuses on keeping the business efficient, friendly, and client-focused.

From refining systems and supporting the team to making sure everything behind the scenes just works, he’s the one quietly holding it all together — often with a sense of humour and a toolkit close by. Outside the office, Simon enjoys mountain biking, family time, and heading off to the Welsh mountains for relaxing breaks at the caravan. Always happy to roll up his sleeves and fix things (whether it’s a leaky tap or a bad spreadsheet formula), he brings that same problem-solving mindset into every part of the business.
