Simon Duncan – Community

Simon Duncan has lived in Flaunden for 16 years. He is married and has two children aged 19 and 24.

During this time, he has been a volunteer special sergeant and response driver with Herts Constabulary (2009-2020), volunteered since 2016 for St John Ambulance based out of Hemel Hempstead, and for East of England Ambulance as a Community First Responder. He set up a CFR scheme in Flaunden in 2018, and signs on several days a week.

His wife Jane is on Flaunden Church PCC, is the co-editor of The Flaunden Flyer magazine, and was on the recent Diamond Jubilee Celebrations committee. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that Simon is often (willingly) roped in to help at village events, such as running a fundraising quiz night, clearing up the churchyard, and combining CFR and barbeque duties at the village Jubilee celebration event.

Simon has worked from home for several years. With a background in chemical engineering and finance, he is currently chief financial officer for recycled plastic lumber manufacturer, Plastecowood.
