Tom Bloxham
MBE Hon FRIBA FRSA FJMU
Group Chairman and Co-Founder
Urban Splash Group Ltd
The least qualified board member. Tom sold fire extinguishers door to door, studied a degree in politics, and ran a market stall down Affleck's Arcade. He made more money sub-letting the space than selling his posters. That's how it started.
Tom's also involved in lots of other important Northern things. He chairs Arts Council England (North West). He advises the government on buildings. And he's been a director of Liverpool's Capital of Culture team. Even the Queen loves him: Tom was awarded an MBE for services to architecture and urban regeneration in 1999.
