Simon Thurston Announced As Business Development Manager For Gerson Relocation UK

August 2025, Gerson Relocation is delighted to announce the appointment of Simon Thurston as Business Development Manager. Simon’s expertise and leadership will play a key role in strengthening client relationships and driving new opportunities as the business continues to expand its global reach.

With over 15 years of experience in senior commercial roles across education, recruitment, AI technology, and digital media, Simon has held leadership positions including Enterprise Sales Director and Head of Partnerships. He is recognised for building high-performing teams, driving strategic growth, and developing long-term client partnerships. His expertise in digital recruitment, SaaS, and AI-driven solutions will support Gerson Relocation’s commitment to delivering innovative, customer-focused services.

Simon commented;

I’m excited to be joining Gerson Relocation and stepping into the dynamic world of global mobility at a time of significant change for the industry.

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve led high-performing sales teams, driven multi-million-pound growth, and built lasting client relationships in AI, digital recruitment, and SaaS. My career has been defined by spotting opportunities, solving complex problems, and delivering measurable results even in challenging markets.

Now, I’m bringing that experience into a sector where organisations are navigating tighter budgets, compliance pressures, shifting policies, and a growing demand for tech-enabled, sustainable solutions.

Global mobility is about more than logistics; it’s about delivering on promises, protecting reputations, and ensuring every move is a success. With Gerson’s 60+ years of expertise, global network, and concierge-level service, I’m ready to help clients achieve their strategic goals while ensuring every assignee has a positive relocation experience.
