let's meet simon...
Simon McFarland - AKA "Wiki Si"
FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR
Simon is our Levland Ltd founder and guru of all things tech. He formed Levland Ltd with Helen in 2004 as an electrical contracting company. He is a qualified electrician with over 30 years of experience and has a vast knowledge of all things with cables. He started his career as an electrical apprentice with ICI Chemicals & Polymers and later worked for Calor Gas Ltd, progressing to an Operations Manager. His skills range from hands-on tools and engineering through to management. His technical knowledge gives him the ability to figure out what tech goes with what and match the best products to our customers’ needs.
He is a bit of a chatterbox, so don’t get him on his favorite subjects if you have to rush away somewhere! His favorite chats are tech (obviously), cups of tea, cakes, and roller coasters.
His attention to detail is off the scale and going that extra mile for customers can be a problem – he even sold his (newly installed) bathroom LED lamps from his own house to help a customer with a deadline to finish their project off, so Helen was literally in the dark for a few days. Helen was not a happy bunny, but the customer was!
He loves to sing, so we’ve had to give him singing credits to save our ears! Poor Sam is with Simon most days in the van, but Sam has banned Abba songs completely!
