About Simon Waldren

I am a freelance web developer, specialising in WordPress and WooCommerce solutions. I have a wide range of data transformation, organising and reporting skills.I organise Totally Locally which is an award-winning worldwide grass-roots movement which helps boost local economies, high streets and independent businesses. Volunteers can download our free Toolkit to help promote their town and independent businesses, creating strong local economies.During Covid lockdowns I developed a multi-vendor marketplace to take 8 high streets online in partnership with Visa to help support independent businesses during this difficult time. We added zero-carbon deliveries via cargobike for local essentials and food bank deliveries to this and were named in the Big Issue's top 100 Changemakers and also in the Independents Top 5 Happy List - for those change-makers and innovators who are spreading happiness and positivity during the pandemic.I am passionate about doing things right. With over 20 years in the data industry, working across a wide range of disciplines, attention to detail and going the extra mile have been key to keeping clients happy.I worked within the Acxiom group of companies for over 20 years and I have absolutely loved finding and developing solutions to a wide range of challenges. It has granted me the opportunity to work within different technical teams using a variety of different languages and reporting solutions. I have applied these to wide-range of external clients' data processing and reporting needs as well as important internal financial information for company management.In my most recent full-time role as Sales Operations Analyst/Solutions Developer, using the Salesforce platform I help enable the sales function to deliver maximum value across the company: providing timely and accurate information, managing and improving the tools, innovating and driving best practice and excellence in collaboration to improve sales interactions and drive the accuracy of forecasting.Recently, I finally realised a life-long ambition of flying a plane - a 1930's open cockpit de Havilland DH.82 Tiger Moth biplane.
