Tom Barnsley

Administrator

Growing up a vicar’s kid in Derbyshire, Tom moved back to the city of his ancestors to study architecture at Sheffield Hallam and never really left. Outside of work, Tom enjoys playing and designing games, drawing, experimenting in the kitchen (occasionally successfully), and spending time in the Peak District.
