Simon Clare joined Coral in 1997 as Racecourse PR representative and was promoted to Coral PR Director in October 2002. Between 2008 to 2011 Clare added Trading to his responsibilities in a new role as Coral Trading & PR Director. In 2011 he relinquished his Trading responsibilities and assumed a new wider role of PR & Broadcast Director responsible for all Coral Public Relations activity, CoralTV and Social Media. Clare has extensive broadcast experience on radio and television commenting on a diverse range of betting events from the obvious - horse racing, football and sport - to the more obscure - politics, reality TV, showbiz and the weather. Simon Clare is a keen sports fan, still turning out for Carshalton FC on a Saturday when work allows.

David joined Coral as PR manager in 2001, having previously worked at the Racing Post. Now in the role of Head of PR, he is involved in all aspects of the company's media relations, providing the latest racing betting news , as well as Coral's sponsorship and event portfolio. A keen sports fan, and long-suffering Portsmouth supporter (the two are not always connected), when not working he will normally be found heading south, or east or west, to the sun, and that liking for the sunshine explains why he will always prefer flat racing to the jumps.
