Nine Feet Tall, the Bath-based change management consultancy, has signed a one-year sponsorship deal with one of England’s best surfers.
Tom Butler, who recently ranked 5th in the Open Men’s European division, was born and raised in Newquay. The sponsorship is part of an ongoing commitment by Nine Feet Tall to help nurture local sporting talent. 
Nine Feet Tall founder and CEO Esther McMorris said: “Surfing reflects many of the qualities we search for in our own team – determination, work ethic and the drive to succeed. We believe strong values are critical to success in both business and sport, and it is an incredibly proud moment for me to announce our support for Tom.”
Nine Feet Tall has a long history of supporting sporting organisations. It sponsors several Bath Rugby players and is the club’s official business training partner. The company also has strong links with the Rugby Business Network and the Welsh Rugby Players Association.
Tom Butler said: “I’m thrilled to be working with Nine Feet Tall. I learned long ago that adaptability is a key skill to have if you want to gain a competitive advantage, whether that is in surfing or further afield in business. This shared ethos is one of the many reasons as to why this is such an exciting partnership.”
