Jon Simon​

After travelling around Australia in his early twenties, Jon teamed up with his brother in law (Tristan) and set out to re-invent the humble British pie. They scrabbled together some basic equipment and set up Pieminister in Bristol. The business now operates a successful chain of restaurants across the UK, supplies all the major supermarkets and fine food halls and holds the crown as the number 1 premium pie brand in the UK.

Jon has been recognised in The Sunday Times Maserati 100 innovators list, Sunday Times Fast Track 100, London Stock exchange 100 Companies to Inspire Britain and won multiple awards for Entrepreneurship.

Jon actively continues to support ethical and sustainable entrepreneurs and start-ups. He’s also the co-founder of Good Sixty, an ethical e-commerce platform supporting independent food producers and retailers.
