Tom’s career in financial services began after he graduated in 2008. Following a brief spell living and working back home in Gloucester, he decided to make the move to London to see what the big smoke had to offer.
After several enjoyable years and off the back of being newly married, in 2015 Tom and his Bristolian wife Lindsay decided that it was time to be closer to friends and family and set some roots here in Bristol.
After his first meeting with Chris, Adrian and the Ovation team, Tom knew that this was where he needed to be!
Known as Producer Tommo, Tom is a regular presenter on The Financial Wellbeing Podcast. After a fateful lunch in his early days at Ovation, a story often recounted on the podcast, Tom is now famous for his #tightasstommo money-saving tips. His blend of practical advice and humor makes him a favorite among listeners seeking to improve their financial wellbeing.
A self-confessed pensions geek, Tom has specific expertise in helping individuals and business owners to plan for their future. He loves being able to help others plan for a life that they might not have thought was possible, and then seeing it all unfold.
Outside work
Tom is a married father who loves spending time with his family.
Before family life took over, he was a keen rugby player. Born in Gloucester, he’s naturally a Gloucester fan (if you’re a Bristol or Bath fan, please don’t hold this against me!). He also loves improving his golf swing, proudly sharing when he broke 80 (although fair to say he has got nowhere near this recently!) In truth, he enjoys most sports, including cricket, and there is rarely one that he won’t have some form of interest in.
