Emyr Thomas

No-one would say that it is necessarily more difficult to move in swish West End circles if you were brought up in Welsh-speaking Carmarthenshire. We’re just saying it would be a brave person who predicted it – and when Emyr Thomas worked in finance, he certainly didn’t have glittering lights in his sights.

But today, he is a high-funds fixer for the moneyed classes who’d like a taste of the latest, the best and the hard-to-get-in nooks and crannies of London life – and he puts his brains and creativity into helping them step over the velvet ropes.
