Simon Melaniphy...

A 35 year old entrepreneur with high level of digital marketing experience based in the beautiful, sunny south coast town of Bournemouth, Dorset. Currently M.D. of Refreshed Media, part of the Emerge Group.

Graduating from the University of Birmingham with a BSc(Hons) 2:1 in Computer Science in 1995, Simon continued his skill and passion for club and radio DJing. Over the following 7 years, he ran a DJ agency as well as DJing to gigs of up to 2000 people, to around 100,000 on a top Sydney radio station and live on national Australian music TV - Channel V.

Returning to the UK in 2002, Simon wanted to persue his life-long goal of creating a successful business and soon setup Refreshed Media with business partner Sarah Baker.

Since 2003 Refreshed Media has grown from nothing to a £2m business with 15 staff.  During 2006 Simon was instrumental in negotiating a 60% sale to Space & Time Media, providing stability, management experience and a strong platform for growth for the future years.

These outstanding achievements are helped by Simon's commitment to personal development; reading from the likes of Robert Kiyosaki and Tony Robbins, and attending seminars.

Future aims include building more businesses, cycling from Lands End to John O Groats and more contribution.
