About Tom

I work on our Contract and Interim Desk on a range of roles across the Health, Safety, Sustainability, and Environment sectors, placing roles such as:

• Interim Directors / Heads of Health and Safety / Heads of Environment and Sustainability

• Site-Based Health & Safety Advisors and Managers

• Site-Based Environment & Sustainability Advisors and Managers

• Specific Project-Based Professionals such as – ISO Management Systems implementation, Behavioural Safety Specialists or other Specialised Health, Safety, Environment and Sustainability positions

I have an excellent network of contract Health, Safety, Environment and Sustainability professionals who can start immediately and make an impact from day one. If you might have a project or Interim role that would suit a contractor, drop me a line.

Work Highlight

Building relationships with clients and candidates and finding positive solutions to help them, as well as becoming part of a dynamic and forward-thinking team are just a few motivations amongst many others that drive me. Being able to do all these at once at Irwin and Colton provides a great sense of fulfilment and desire to make a real difference in people’s lives, particularly in an industry that has become and will continue to become more important than ever to protect the world we live in. 

Out of office

Outside the office my time is spent heavily on all things sport and activity. I regularly train at the gym and love to run, where my next target is to run the London Marathon in 2024. I’m also a huge football fan and a big supporter (and bearer) of West Ham United, where I have a season ticket, meaning a lot of my weekends are spent there. In addition, prior to working at Irwin and Colton, I fulfilled one of my lifelong dreams to go backpacking in South East Asia where I strengthened my passion and love for travelling and exploring new areas of the world. I also love my cricket and spend a lot of the summer period playing for my local team. At the University of Liverpool, where I studied for three years, I was the President of the cricket club which further deepened my passion for helping others and leadership, making my role at Irwin and Colton even more fulfilling by working with equally passionate people dedicated to helping others and making a positive impact.
