About Simon Aldridge

An experienced production director for international shows, events and projects having been managing events, projects and shows from a technical, budgeting, operational, production management and creative development point of view for over 25 years with individual project budgets of over $20m and also extensive experience of delivering international motorsport event programmes.After an initial career in professional car racing team management, competing in what is now FIA F2 Championship, an interest in the development and organisation of the overall events and sport emerged. This resulted in a change of direction to the events side of the UK governing body of motorsport (RAC Motorsports Association) involved with organising the British F1 GP, Britain’s round of the World Rally Championships, the RAC Rally, and numerous British motorsport championships and automotive events. A busy freelance event/show production and development career then emerged which has continued to the present day and on the motorsport side continued with international programmes.This freelance path developed through to being Production and Technical Director/manager and Producer on touring and stand alone shows from car theatrical events and shows to concerts and major artistic performance shows. The vast majority of my work over the last 18 years has been on an international basis running events and shows in over 24 countries from Russia to Australia, South Africa to China and India to Thailand. I have a very detailed and project dedicated approach, with an acute attention to delivery and budget control and a level of tenacity to overcome any obstacles in a planned and professional manner.
