Introducing Tom

Tom Hutton is widely recognised for his operational background in the high-stakes world of deep-ocean exploration and luxury adventure. His career is defined by managing “impossible” logistics in remote environments.

Before founding Subsea Risk, Tom served as Director of Research Platforms at DEEP, where he was instrumental in the operational planning for the next generation of subsea habitats and human presence underwater. Prior to that, he was Director of Operations at Cookson Adventures, executing complex, world-first expeditions that paired ultra-high-net-worth clients with scientific research vessels and submersibles.

A former Commissioned Officer in the British Army, Tom brings military-grade rigour to risk assessment. He has facilitated operations ranging from documenting new killer whale species in the Antarctic to managing the logistics of classed expeditionary yachts.

Tom founded Subsea Risk, a trading style of URP, with a singular goal: to build the brokerage he wished he had when he was the one signing the manifest.
