Biography
Tenconi was born into a wealthy family from Eastbourne, East Sussex. He went to a private junior school, followed by a state secondary school. He went on to work in sales, then launched his own personal training business, Tenco Training, in 2013 in Reading. In 2023, Tenconi received publicity after driving to Ukraine to deliver aid.
His political career began when he joined the right-wing group Turning Point UK, eventually becoming Chief operating officer (COO).
