He left school and went to work with his father, who manufactured garden products and did hard landscaping. He met the executive producer of Ground Force, while he was engaged in building work on her house. She asked his opinion on various pilots, including a new gardening challenge show, and his comments were perceptive and pertinent , She invited him to take part in a screen test with Charlie Dimmock and they both joined Ground Force.Since that day Tommy has gone from strength to strength having filmed three series of Ground Force and now on his fourth.He recently guested on Whose House and was so well received that they asked him back to do another guesting.Tommy has done several personal appearances at store openings for the building trade.
