Tom expressed that these challenges had tested their relationship but ultimately led to a healthier dynamic.
He emphasized the importance of keeping their professional and personal lives 'very separate,' a strategy that has helped them navigate the complexities of being partners both at home and in business.

The couple's dedication to their long-term partnership is evident as they continue to adapt and support each other's careers.
Furthermore, Tom has been actively discussing broader issues affecting the UK's hospitality sector, particularly the impact of economic changes on pubs.
