Theo is especially passionate about equality of opportunities and how we can give everyone the chance to reach their goals and potential irrespective of their upbringing.
Outside of work, Theo enjoys playing the piano, writing articles and blogs on politics and current affairs and cooking with a variety of gadgets he didn't really need to purchase.
