Career

Tom graduated from the University of Manchester in 2009 with a BA in Arabic, Spanish & Portuguese. He worked for an international NGO in North Africa during the 2011 Arab Spring before moving to the UAE in 2013 to work on major infrastructure and energy projects in the private sector.

From 2014–2018 he worked in the travel and tourism sector in Latin America before returning to the UK in 2019, leveraging his experience to set up his own company focusing on wine tourism to England’s vineyards.
