About DCI

Nick has spent his entire career in financial services, working in operational, analytical, sales and consultancy roles across wealth management, stockbroking, insurance, fund management and software. Having seen the industry from almost every angle, he passionately believes there are better ways to approach the industry’s problems. DCI was born from this belief.

In his spare time, Nick is commonly found on the golf course, trying in vain to improve his handicap, or enduring the highs and many lows of being a lifelong Crystal Palace fan.

During the course of many years as an Investment Manager managing client money, Simon developed a growing interest in operations and eventually transitioned to the back office. This culminated in becoming the Chief Operating Officer of an AIM listed Wealth Management firm. This role involved operational oversight of all aspects of financial advice through to discretionary fund management, client money & assets (CF10A) and even LSE membership. This breadth of experience has led to Simon’s passion to drive operational efficiencies within Financial Services, initially via a successful consultancy business and ultimately the creation of DCI.

Outside of work Simon enjoys swimming including a successful swim across the English Channel in 2013.

With over forty years experience developing software, Nigel has worked on small and large scale systems for a variety of different businesses and industries, and from mainframes to PCs and now the cloud. The last fourteen years have been spent developing and integrating wealth management systems and Nigel is excited to be able to bring that experience to DCI.

Away from work Nigel is a active member of the Cranleigh Lions Club, a trustee for the Cranleigh Heritage Trust and can often be found covered in oil and grease attempting to fix one of his classic cars.
