Steve Andrews co-owns finance and property company SimpliGroup with twins Rob and Chris Downham. What began as a financial services provider in the UK has now morphed into a diverse group of companies offering property development and financial and insurance services across Bulgaria and the UK. Its pièce de resistance is a 90,000 sq m environmentally aware “wellbeing village” in Bulgaria. The development of 150 properties, spa centres and organic restaurants has won a five-star award. The group should turn over around £9m this year and is looking to expand its international finance arm into Egypt and Turkey.
