Tom was appointed to the Board of BF in 2021.
Tom is a Sport and Commercial Associate at a leading London law firm where he advises athletes, boxers, players, clubs, agents and governing bodies on a wide range of issues from sponsorship and image rights arrangements to disputes and regulatory matters.

On his appointment to the Board of BF, Tom said, “I am delighted to be joining the Board of British Fencing. Having advised numerous sports governing bodies on commercial, contentious and regulatory matters, this is a unique opportunity for me to lend my professional experience to something about which I am truly passionate – sports governance.
