Immediately after graduating in history from The University of Liverpool in 1998, Tom began his professional career at international accountancy firm Mazars where he qualified as chartered accountant. He then held several senior finance positions in the London Insurance Market on both the distribution and broking side before in 2010 joining one of the largest independent Lloyd’s brokers, Alston Gayler, as CFO. Here Tom was part of the leadership team that drove through significant growth before the business was successfully sold to Miller Insurance Services at the end of 2018. Tom joined Costero in 2020 and sits on the boards of both Costero Holdings and Costero Brokers.
