Having been with Oceanskies for over 5 years, Tom oversees the day to day running of the yacht registration and port agency teams in Guernsey.

Now with a focus on new business/business development, he regularly attends key European yacht shows and events to meet with yacht owners and key industry professionals (brokers, boat manufacturers, insurers, lawyers, marine finance companies) to ensure they receive expert and tailored flagging advice that meet their personal/client’s needs.

An approved tonnage surveyor (red ensign flagged yachts under 24 meters), Tom is now also studying towards a Diploma in Maritime Law to continue building his knowledge within the maritime sector.

Outside of work (when he’s not busy attempting to renovate his house), Tom jumps at the chance to travel. Although gastronomy and wine often dictate the destination, any opportunity to hit the slopes of the French Alps won’t be missed. When the snow melts and the injuries heal, you’ll find him in the ocean (sometimes using his PADI open water if still insurable).

Tom is a “world class comedian” (Duncan Swanson – Oceanskies), however it is claimed that his dad jokes often leave audiences more concerned for his welfare than in laughter.
