Tony made the transition from international rugby player to build another successful career in commercial aviation. Reaching the top of these two high-performing environments, he brings a unique insight into what individual qualities it takes to harness the most from yourself and from your team. In particular, that everything revolves around relationships.
He played rugby for Cambridge University, Leicester Tigers and the Newcastle Falcons, won 27 caps for England and went on two British Lions tours. His flying career took him from Easyjet to Virgin Atlantic and culminated in his role as a Captain for Emirates.
To build on these experiences, he qualified as an EMCC Executive Coach and became a practitioner in EQi2.0, a measure of emotional intelligence.
Tony is on the Dean’s Advisory Board at York St. John Business School and is a proud ambassador of the Newcastle Rugby Foundation.
Tony enjoys dog walks and cycling or any excuse to get into the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside with his family.
