Chief of Clan MacThomas, Andrew MacThomas of Finegand, and
Madam MacThomas. Born in 1987, he was appointed a

***** Tom spent his
early years in both London and Scotland. He was educated at
Winchester College, one of the UK's "great" academic schools.
While there Tom sailed regularly on the Solent, played soccer
and tennis, winning his "school colours" at Winchester College
Football (a game similar to rugby) and successfully organised
two large events, raising £16,000 for charity. ***** Tom went on to Edinburgh
University where he read chemistry. Tom enjoyed his four years
living in the Scottish capital, using his spare time to
nurture his entrepreneurial streak. He started a DJ agency as
well as an event consultancy service. While at University Tom
won a business and management competition called "The
Apprentice: Edinburgh" run by Proctor &
Gamble. ***** Graduating from Edinburgh University in
2009 as a Bachelor of Science (BSc Hons), Tom embarked on
another charitable project driving, with a friend, some 6,500
miles (16,000 kms) from Edinburgh to the capital of Mongolia
in a bright yellow 1991 former Automobile Association service
van in aid of Save the Children. Upon reaching Ulaan Baatar in
September, Tom spent the rest of the year travelling around
China. ***** In 2010, Tom began work in London as a
strategic analyst with the Daily Mail General Trust (DMGT), a
large international company providing information, analysis,
and events for both business and consumers in over 40
countries worldwide. In 2011, to gain wider analytical
experience, Tom spent a year with the William Hill
Organisation in Gibraltar, before returning to London in 2012
as a senior commercial analyst with Wowcher, before becoming
Head of Marketing.
In 2015, he moved
to his current role as Head of Marketing at the venture
capitalists, Forward Partners. In the same year Tom went to
Uganda and bicycled over 250 miles in five days for charity.
