Simon Angleides
Chief Executive Officer
Simon Angleides
Chief Executive Officer
Simon has worked across central government, the NHS, and public consultancy for over 25 years—often leading complex service change in politically sensitive environments. He has advised NHS England, local systems, and regulators on some of the country’s most high-profile reconfiguration programmes, providing legal, governance, and assurance support in areas where public consultation carries real risk.
Simon led the acquisition and reset of The Consultation Institute in 2025, following the closure of its predecessor. As CEO, he is responsible for rebuilding trust in the brand, restoring credibility in the assurance model, and setting a new standard for how high-stakes consultation should be done.
His focus is simple: clear standards, independent advice, and helping public bodies make decisions that stand up to scrutiny.
