Simon Woodroffe

Simon Woodroffe is founder, owner and creative driving force behind YO! Sushi. He left school at 16 and spent almost 30 years in the entertainment business. Through the 1970's and 80's his production companies, based in London and Los Angeles, designed rock 'n' roll stages for artists like Rod Stewart, The Moody Blues and Stevie Wonder, and events like Live Aid.

A natural progression led Simon into television at the start of the 1990's. He spearheaded the development of TV deals to show huge international rock concerts worldwide, organising the financing and distribution of the Nelson Mandela concerts, shows for Amnesty International and the Prince's Trust concerts.

YO! Sushi is intended to be a lifestyle brand that has grown out of the initial restaurant concept where eating is turned into a complete entertainment experience. The focus is now on the international market where Simon is busy developing deals to take the YO! brand across Europe and into the USA.

Simon has won many awards, including 1999 UK Entrepreneur of

the Year and 2000 Group Restaurateur of the Year. He speaks

extensively around the world at corporate and promotional events,

and is widely described as one of the best entrepreneurial and

marketing speakers in the UK. He has published the UK best-selling

 The Book of YO!
