MEET THE TEAM
GAZ THOMPSON
FOUNDER & CEO
A working class lad from Keighley, just outside of Bradford, I am married to Beth, with two girls, Isla and Isabella, I am a committed Christian, Husband and Father. I have been a wrestler for over 12 years and have driven the charity since the beginning. An evangelist with a proven track record, I founded GT Ministries in 2018 to use my testimony, in combination with wrestling, to reach people with the Gospel, and tell them about Jesus. I have since grown the work through to 2024, where we became a charity. Having experience in leading projects, ministries, conference teams, sales, fundraising and marketing, media and public speaking, I bring this all to the fore as the driving force behind Kingdom.
BETH THOMPSON
PRAYER & WORSHIP LEAD
I'm married to Gaz and mum to our amazing girls Bella & Isla. I was raised in a Christian home and first met the Holy Spirit as a young child. I'll be honest, I didn't live the life God had for me for years but that came to an end in 2016 when I made a recommitment to Jesus. My passion and belief in prayer and worship is what drives me in life.

I love working with young people, being a good role model. I also enjoy performing, I spent a few years working with New Wimbledon Youth Theatre, where I won a Jack Petchey award for best actor in one of our top musical productions. Only recently have I started to become more proactive with my faith. I want to become a motivational speaker and a coach one day. To help other people to find God through their own suffering like I did. My intention is to help contribute to the kingdom, by assisting Gaz and the team behind the scenes. I love the culture behind it and I hope to learn as much as I can about God and how to run amazing, action-packed events.

BEN HAMPTON
CREATIVE TEAM
I’m Ben, from a very early age I was introduced to both religion and professional wrestling and become passionate about both instantly, I was lucky enough to be a part of the Chesterfield ‘ Crooked Spire ‘ choir from 5 years old and had the opportunity to meet amazing people and perform at some of the finest churches and cathedrals in the country. I became hooked on wrestling thanks to my mother gifting me a VHS at 6 years old, the colours, lights, larger than life characters I saw on TV made me want to be a part of this amazing business. I’ve been lucky enough in the 13 years I’ve been a part of it to have worn many hats including performer, promoter, commentator, ring announcer and now finally Kingdom Wrestling creative team member. I found Kingdom through a long time friend and confidant Gareth Thompson, after seeing his vision and understanding the great things Kingdom has and can do for communities around the UK I knew I had to be involved, so I am very happy and grateful to be here and help Kingdom grow in the future.

PHIL ROBINSON
TRUSTEE
I first stepped into a wrestling ring on the 13th March 1987. I soon realised I would never make a wrestler so went down the path of refereeing. Over the last 37 years I have worked all over the country and worked with many promotions. At the beginning of this year I decided to hang up the striped shirt and retire. Still enjoy watching shows but this time from ringside. I have followed Gaz and his career in and out of the ring since 2011 and it is a pleasure to work alongside him and the team to bring the worlds of wrestling and faith together.
