Our leaders are taking bold actions to expand our impact and influence

After a 14-year stint as Managing Director at Tyler Grange, Simon Ursell is taking a leap into the role of Chair. “Helping TG grow has been an amazing journey. The three of us—Jon, Julian and I—have been in it together from the start. Reflecting on all those years has got me thinking … It’s time to do something new. So, I’m happy to announce that I’m becoming Chair.”

After working full time, Simon will be dialing down to two days a week at Tyler Grange. But there’ll be no kicking back on his out-of-office days; he’s planning to lend his expertise to other businesses. 

“All the mistakes we’ve made, all the challenges we’ve overcome – I want to share this wisdom to help businesses discover what they can achieve. But my heart’s still with TG, and I’ll stay deeply involved here.”

Julian Arthur is staying on as our Technical Director, driven by his deep enjoyment for the work we do, the quality services we deliver and the exceptional team that makes it all happen.

When asked about what fuels his drive, Julian said, “I’m all in for stretching our wings beyond TG, connecting with peers and tapping into the broader industry ecosystem. Whether it’s collaborating with like-minded businesses, engaging with professional institutes, or working closely with clients and regulators, I want us to share insights, learn and drive progress together. Staying in the loop and contributing to the larger conversation is key for me.”

Are there enough challenges to keep him on his toes? “Absolutely, loads of them,” Julian says. “The industry is fast-moving, and there’s always something new around the corner. I want to continue embracing those challenges, innovating and turning them into opportunities. That’s what keeps this role so exciting.”
