I used to think I had a special relationship with Simon, I was his special one, until I spoke to everyone who knew him, and they all said the same thing! That is a testimony to the man he was. He always made you feel seen, heard and believed in, every time you had the pleasure of spending time with him. Simon has been instrumental in my life. From the birth of The TV Collective to the unwavering personal support he has given me over the years, I am broken hearted that the depths of my gratitude to him will now never truly be expressed. I already miss him. His laugh, the speeches, and his red glasses. Simon Albury, MBE, I have been beyond blessed to have had you in my life. You weren’t a colleague, nor a friend. You were my family. You are and always will be to me and mines- sensational!!!– Simone Pennant, MBE
