Brit Herald

Tom Bradley covers the technology industry and British sport for Brit Herald. On the tech beat, he reports on UK fintech, AI regulation, data privacy legislation, and the startups reshaping London's tech corridor. On the sports side, he covers the Premier League, Six Nations rugby, and English cricket - with a focus on the business of sport and the stories behind the results.

Tom grew up in Manchester, where he started writing about local football for a fan blog while studying at university. He graduated from the University of Manchester with a degree in Journalism and a minor in Computer Science - a combination that made him the go-to person in every newsroom when the CMS crashed on deadline. After graduation, he spent three years at a Manchester-based digital outlet covering the Northern Powerhouse tech scene.

He joined Brit Herald because he wanted to write about both technology and sport without being forced to choose. His tech coverage has ranged from Open Banking regulation to semiconductor supply chains, and his sports writing leans analytical - why clubs make the transfers they make, what the underlying numbers reveal, and where the money actually goes.

Tom is convinced that the best journalism happens where beats overlap. He still argues that local newspapers are worth saving, despite reading most of his news on his phone.
