ABOUT SIMON GROVER
I\'m a creative person and green campaigner, with a \'portfolio career\'. In other words, I’ve flitted about a bit. Architect, firefighter, florist, nude model, and lion tamer are just some of the many jobs I haven\'t had yet. Trumpeter, juggler, monster, deatheater, magician, MP candidate and apple packer are just some of the many I have. At Quietroom, an insight-led communications consultancy, I work with brilliant and brainy writers, content designers and strategists. I devise and run communication strategy projects, create videos+animations, write, speak at conferences and help clients make their tricky subjects more meaningful. I also manage Quietroom’s marketing.I am more surprised than anyone to now be a pensions expert (I know I am one because my face has been in Pensions Expert magazine). I love the fact that working in pensions is about helping people make better decisions and have a better life. It\'s also an industry full of really excellent people.I’ve been a Green Party local councillor in St Albans since 2011. Hugely rewarding but not in the pays-the-mortgage sense. Like trombone practice, this takes up as much time as you can give it.I started professional life as an actor and actor/musician, especially in touring theatre but with a bit of film and TV too. I did that full time for about 20 years. You might spot me as a deatheater in Harry Potter (on the train in Deathly Hallows Part 1 if you must know) or the butler in Gigglebiz (if you watch a lot of pre-school TV). I was also in The Tweenies for 3 years, but wearing a huge animatronic head, so well done if you recognise me from that.Off the back of acting in children\'s TV, I became a writer. I wrote 100+ scripts for children\'s TV, mostly pre-school. Looking back, I think writing for pre-school children is what got me excited about using clear language, short messages, and stories - ideas I\'m now obsessed with at Quietroom.
