About me

Hello, my name is Simon, owner and director of Evergreen Accountancy Ltd. I also run the website www.evergreenbusinessdevelopment.co.uk

I am the author of How to Write a Business Plan (Your Guide to Starting a Business), available on www.amazon.co.uk.

In 2009, my role at The Body Shop became redundant. I had worked there for 20 years in practically every department. I started in the warehouse packing boxes, and by the time I left, I was writing business plans for new products. While sad to leave such a dynamic and values-driven company, this change provided an opportunity. I went back to school, trained as an accountant, and in 2011, Evergreen was born.

I joined the National Health Service (NHS) in 2009. I have seen firsthand the positive effects of business and financial planning and the negative side of failing to plan properly. I left the NHS in September 2024 and work for Evergreen full-time.

I published How to Write a Business Plan (Your Guide to Starting a Business) because I am passionate about providing people with good and affordable information before starting their business.

I work freelance in two business areas:
• Business Plan Writing
• Virtual Customer Support
