Tom Dunmore

Tom Dunmore is editor-in-chief of Stuff (www.stuff.tv), the world’s best-selling gadget magazine. He is also a freelance journalist whose writing about technology and entertainment has appeared in a wide range of publications, from Zoo to The Sunday Times.

After studying Film & Literature at Warwick University in the early 90’s, Tom began his career in journalism as a television listings sub-editor for the Press Association. In 1999, after five years in the glamorous world of listings, Tom got his big break, joining Haymarket Publishing’s Stuff magazine as sub-editor. He quickly rose through the ranks before taking over as editor in 2002.

While editing Stuff, Tom also started moonlighting as a television pundit, with regular slots on BBC Breakfast, RI:SE and Gadget & Stuff, before landing a cushy role on Channel 5’s Gadget Show.

After two years at the helm, during which Stuff became the fastest-growing men’s monthly in the UK, Tom moved within Haymarket to be launch editor of music magazine Rip & Burn. After the sad demise of Rip & Burn in 2005, Tom rejoined Stuff in the lofty position of editor-in-chief. He spends most of his time playing with shiny toys and giggling like a lunatic.
