Simon Grover / Writer and Workshop Leader

He’s a fantastic organiser of material, often acting as the librarian on complex jobs. He’s also brought his commanding height, gentle voice and warm humour to lots of our training.

Simon’s a prolific writer for children’s television, with over 100 scripts broadcast. He’s also an actor – he plays a Death Eater in the seventh Harry Potter film. He plays trumpet with inauthentic Cuban band, The Swanvesta Social Club. And he’s a Green Party Councillor in his home town of St Albans.
