Tom James

Tom is a key member of the Poisson Rouge team and a powerful communicator.

After graduating from Southampton University in 2001 with a 2:1 in Management Sciences with French and Spanish, Tom spent a year working in the mountains of France before joining the Poisson Rouge team as an Account Executive.

During Tom’s first year with the company Tom learned about all aspects of how the Poisson Rouge team developments activities work, how they are designed, what purposes they serve and what outcomes they generate. During this time he provided valuable back office support for the sales, administration, account management and delivery functions within Poisson Rouge

For the next two years Tom worked as a member of the event management team, booking venues, liaising with suppliers and assisting in the delivery of team events.

Since 2005 Tom has developed into one of Poisson Rouge’s key account directors. He has played both lead and supporting roles in delivering development centres, team building activities and interventions across a broad range of blue chip and public sector clients all over Europe.

Tom’s strengths are his organisational abilities, his attention to detail and his communication skills and his unending youthful energy and passion.

Tom is great with people and finds it easy to strike up good working relationships with people of all ages and at all management levels.

Tom is passionate about customer service and will go to any lengths to ensure that all Poisson Rouge customers are delighted, with results exceeding their expectations.

Tom is a great motivator and leads by example. His infectious enthusiasm and motivation prompted one of his colleagues (20 years his senior) to get off his backside and run a Marathon (which Tom completed a full two hours faster!)

When not working at Poisson Rouge Tom is a keen footballer, marathon runner, skier, triathlon competitor, surfer and party goer.
