Tom graduated from the University of Oxford in 2023 with a First Class BA in Chinese, earning multiple examination prizes in his final year. During his time at university, his studies encompassed both Mandarin and Classical Chinese, as well as contemporary history and culture. In his second year, he spent eight months in Taiwan, where he enhanced his fluency, deepened his cultural understanding, and—most importantly—engaged with native Mandarin speakers and not a textbook!
Tom joined us in early 2025 as a graduate trainee, rotating through operations and claims to develop a comprehensive understanding of our work as insurance brokers. Now, Tom works closely with client and underwriter, and he is particularly enthusiastic supporting our Mandarin-speaking partners.
Outside of work, Tom enjoys travelling and hiking. He spent four months travelling across China, visiting fifteen provinces and climbing five mountains along the way.
