Jack is an Olympic Silver medallist and a retired British rower. He is the son of Olympic rower Peter Beaumont and has worked to broaden the appeal of rowing to more diverse communities.

He won European Championships bronze in 2015, is a former World under-23 medallist and made his own Olympic debut at the Rio 2016 Games, during which he undertook an undergraduate degree in Criminology at Birkbeck- studying in the evenings after a full day’s training.

He now works in business development and sales and has spoken of inspiring the next generation as he diversifies his career path: “I wanted to work for a company that was doing something that would improve people’s lives.”

On a mission to showcase rowing to communities who might otherwise not be exposed, he says, “Rowing is a small community and it is a sport that could definitely be more diverse, like Birkbeck was. I’ve been visiting rowing clubs and schools to show my medal and share my experiences. The more we can showcase rowing, the better.”
