Simon Morris (born 1977) is a British business entrepreneur specialising in property. He is the owner/founder of Morris Properties (UK). ==Career== Simon Morris began in business selling leather coats after he had dropped out one year into a law degree at Lancaster University. After buying and refurbishing a flat he formed Morris Properties, specialising in residential property for students and young professionals. Its foundations are in Leeds, but the company is also involved in developments across Yorkshire as well as in Nottingham, Derby and Cardiff. Morris Properties (UK) is totally owned by its founder and made a £15.4 million profit in 2005–06, while First City Rentals, in which Morris has a 65% stake, made a £2.3 million profit. In 2008 the company went into administration with £50 million of debts, mostly to struggling Irish banks who called on their loans after the financial crash and as a result of the Bank of Ireland calling on a £2.4 million personal guarantee. Two weeks after his businesses went bust, Morris was arrested as part of an investigation into money laundering and conspiracy to defraud based on allegations brought up by the administrations of the companies involved. In 2007 Morris, a former director of Leeds United, tabled a bid to buy the football club. That bid failed as Ken Bates retained control of club after winning 75.2% of the votes from creditors. Simon Morris has now started to operate an Investment Business blog in London - Simon Morris Business & Investments http://www.simonmorrisuk.com/ and offers guides and advice on various investment options in London. In August 2014, Simon Morris has released a guide to property investment funds. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simon Morris (businessman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
