He won the British 800m title for five consecutive years between 2006 and 2010 and has a personal best time of 1:43.89 which he ran in Rieti in 2010. Earlier that year he won his first major medal with a silver in the final of the European T&F Championships in Barcelona.
Born in Southport near Liverpool, Rimmer has been a successful athlete through all of the age groups and former great, Peter Elliott, tipped him for success at an early age. He was a finalist in the 2006 European T&F Championships; and a semi-finalist in the 2007 IAAF World T&F Championships, 2008 Olympic Games and 2009 IAAF World T&F Championships.
Rimmer is noticeable by his trademark white t-shirt which he wears underneath his vest no matter what kind of weather, which he says brings him good luck.

One of his hobbies was collecting vinyl records which began when he was working as a DJ.
