London and Milton Keynes offices. One of her greatest passions at Simply is seeing colleagues develop, train, learn and become successful lawyers. Most of Sam’s spare time is taken up with family life, but when she does get time to herself she enjoys heavy weight lift training and has found that feeling strong is good for mental health!

Paul joined Simply in June 2020 as CIO, but
not for the first time. He was previously our
Technical Director from 2008-2010. Paul’s role is to lead the technology strategy within the business, ensuring that this aligns with the wider business strategy. It is his job to ensure Simply uses IT to its best advantage. Paul hasn’t always worked in IT - his university degree was in biotechnology, followed by 2 years of
neurophysiology research. Somewhere along the line he decided to swap the laboratory for a computer screen and hasn’t looked back!
