After discovering a passion for journalism whilst living in Australia, Nick and his partner founded Arcane Media, an independent media company with a focus on cultures and travel from around the globe.  However, it is his career since then that has allowed him to explore so many different avenues within the media industry, ranging from investigative journalism, to radio presenting to media production.  The diversity of this industry is never ending and that's what continues to makes it so exciting to Nick.

 

 

 

 

 

Having started a career in Finance in 2011 Tom soon realised it wasn't for him, it wasn't what he was passionate about.  Through lots of networking he received an opportunity to do work experience at Sky Sports.  10 years later he's still there, having enjoyed many memorable experiences covering (mainly) Cricket all over the world.  As a Producer and Reporter he's worked with, dined with and drunk with many of his childhood sporting heroes.  It is a job that has provided more experiences that he could ever have imagined and one he hopes has many more to come.
