Tom is a Bolton Wanderers fan, following them back up to the Premier League (he hopes!). He is teaching himself piano as a way to relax following an inevitable loss by Bolton Wanderers at the weekend.

Tom is outstanding and very knowledgeable, he looked after us and we felt he genuinely had our best interests at heart whilst handling our important family affairs. From the day we met Tom and his team he made us feel welcome, nothing felt rushed and he explained the process and any queries we had very well to ensure we understood. Tom was very patient as we had some delays from our side which we are grateful for. Thank you for your excellent service on behalf of all of our family.
