Tom Hampton

I started my career in hospitality straight out of college, shortly after I made the move into the banking sector which was the start of m unexpected journey into financial protection.
Spurred by a redundancy I moved into personal protection which marked the beginning of a decade-long immersion in the industry. From roles spanning lead generation to sales and overseeing the scaling of a multi-million-pound fintech start-up, I've developed a profound passion for the growth and impact of financial protection.

In my journey, values like integrity, collaboration, and a drive for excellence are the guiding principles. Having navigated diverse roles in the financial protection industry, I bring a wealth of experience and a genuine enthusiasm for fostering growth. I've been very fortunate to have worked with some great people and great companies but along the way I have also seen how things should not be done.

Having put bundles of time and enegery into others peoples projects and having started my own family I've thought carefully about what challenge I want next and ultimately where I think I can make a really big difference

I've set up as an industry specialsit recruiter and my mission is to continue supporting the industry that has been my pride for years. With a background in shaping businesses and cultivating diverse, expert sales teams, I'm channeling that knowledge, passion and energy into supporting business owners in thier own growth projects.

Having witnessed firsthand the profound impact financial advice has on families and the crucial findint the right candiates has on busineses, I offer a recruitment solution that is honest and personal. Built on collaborating closely with clients, I aim to understand both individuals career aspirations and the unique pain points of businesses to provide tailored solutions.

There is no doubt in my mind this will be a difficult project but along side my mentor with 15+ years experience in recruitment I am determined to help find the right business for the right candidates. 

LIFE OUTSIDE OF WORK

As a proud father of two, my greatest joy comes from spending quality time with my children—whether it's building recycled robot projects for school or to get out exploring the landscapes Hampshire has to offer (When its not hammering down with rain).

I'm lucky to be able to take my children to school in the morning since I've got rid of the 3 hour daily commute and honestly I wouldn't dream of changing it. 

Everything I do is made possible by the unwavering support of my incredible wife, who stands by me through even the wildest pursuits.

Beyond family life, I'm an avid cricket enthusiast and a lifelong Spurs fan. I'm also a golfer, less so these days with the kids but when I do get the clubs out I play off 12. I've been playing pool in a Div 1 team for over 12 years now and I enjoy the Monday social that comes with it.

I enjoy meeting new people and understadning their stories so feel free to drop me a call or a message on Linkedin
