Broadcaster - Horse Racing

Published: March 16, 2021, 6 a.m.

b"We chat with Tom Stanley about life as a Horse racing Presenter/Broadcaster. Tom's Dad had a big influence in introducing him to the sport and over the years Tom developed a love for the sport but he never thought he would work in the industry itself, instead he dreamed of becoming an actor. Around tom's mid twenties he decided that although he enjoyed acting and was landing some great roles, it wasn't really secure enough for him, so he decided to go down a different path which led to him becoming a presenter were he was able to combine the skill set he had built up in his acting career with his love for horse racing. We talk about getting into the industry, the importance of work experience and putting yourself out there by reaching out to as many different people/companies as you can to try and gain some experience. We also talk about the importance of creating your own content to showcase your skill set and build an audience. Tom gives loads of great advice and insight into the industry, from how to get into it, to the skills necessary to succeed as well as how the industry may change over the coming years. A real pleasure to chat with Tom."
