Bio
Thomas Preston
Talented, hard-working and exceptionally likeable; can turn his hand to anything and make it happen, at any level, within any deadline, with any size of budget (or none at all). His marketing and communications skills are second-to-none and working alongside him was a pleasure thanks to his cheerful personality and professionalism. When I rule the world, I'll happily make him my vice-ruler.

Tom is a conscientious and hard working team player. I have worked with him in 3 different organisations and he has continually been a massive asset to the team. He has fantastic interpersonal and people skills and combines this with application and intuition to be really effective in his role.
