Simon has worked in karting, and specifically arranging events, for over 10 years. He has built up his experience at both indoor and outdoor circuits and is a keen karter himself (many of the trophies you see displayed at Reception bear his name), so knows only too well what makes a good race.  Simon handles most of the large group bookings as well as dealing with the majority of email enquiries.  If you require a bespoke event tailored to your exact specifications, he's the man to ask.
