Olly Barkley

Olly Barkley's illustrious career spans over 230 first-class games for Bath Rugby. Renowned as Bath Rugby's top points scorer, Barkley's talent earned him 34 caps for England from 2004 to 2011, making him one of the youngest players ever to don the national jersey.

Transitioning to the international stage, Barkley brought his expertise to Racing Metro 92 in the Top 14 French league towards the end of his playing days, all while setting up a property investment company back in England, aimed at sustainable design led homes. Following retirement in 2017, Barkley's passion for rugby continued as he joined the IRB to consult for the Hong Kong Rugby Union, focusing on coach and player development in preparation for their World Cup programme.

Not one to rest on his laurels, Barkley embarked on entrepreneurial endeavors, founding Vapoura Rum in 2022, a super premium rum brand aimed at bringing a modern and contemporary edge to the growing rum industry. Alongside his business ventures, Barkley is deeply committed to philanthropy, co-founding and serving as a trustee for the M2M Foundation. This charity endeavors to transform lives by harnessing the therapeutic power of the outdoors, particularly for those grappling with mental health challenges stemming from adversity.
