Simon Britton
Simon's passion for fieldsports started from a very early age, catching his first salmon by the age of 9, with his grandfather on the river Tay. This experience ignited his love of fieldsports, which continues to this day. Simon has always enjoyed living and working in a rural environment, which has enabled Halstead and Bolton, and their clients, to gain access to many of the UK’s top sporting Estates.
Simon has endeavoured to expand his knowledge and experience of shooting and fishing at home and abroad, which has resulted in him becoming a BASC qualified shooting instructor. Simon now leads and coaches shooting parties at some of the finest shooting destinations in the world.
