Tom knocks ‘em out!

February 17, 2009

 

At AJ we already knew that Tom Evans was a bit handy having survived more than a few rowdy Friday nights in roughneck Cornish establishments.  Our sales director can look after himself.

 

However, the extent to which he is able to advance his cause was thrown in sharp relief at the Woking Community Centre last Saturday.  Not content with being built like a brick-house and playing rugby as a hobby, Tom’s taken up Thai boxing and was a competitor in a friendly tournament in deepest Surrey.

 

For the uninitiated, Thai boxing is a hard martial art and is Thailand’s national sport.  It’s sometimes referred to as ‘the art of the eight limbs’ because legs, elbows, shins, knees as well as hands are all used in the pastime.  Basically it’s a sport where you can legally beat the living daylights out of someone and feel good about it because you’re wearing soft gloves.  Call it a punch with a conscience!

 

Tom did AJ proud beating all and sundry and proving that when it comes to looking after himself, there’s no one better.  Perhaps that’s why he’s been elevated to sales director.  After all, who would refuse to sign that contract?
