Tom Myerscough is a senior Japan business specialist with broader Asia Pacific experience acquired from top level operating management with a leading European multinational company. His initial career in macromolecular and protein research opened the door to 25 years' experience in the Asian region including 18 years based in Japan. Tom is intimately familiar with central and regional government relations in the UK and Japan and has directed the promotion of Japan-UK business relationships for the UK government's Department of Trade & Industry and the Welsh Development Agency.
