Phil has been working in management and leadership positions within the Third Sector for over 20+ years. His first management role was with the disability Charity, Shaw Trust, within the Welfare to Work sector. Here he was fast tracked for senior leadership winning a scholarship onto their Executive Leadership & Management training course.
He then moved across into housing, working for a Housing Association. Here, he developed his management approach taking on 3 key approaches – restorative approaches, Intent-based leadership and Systems thinking.
He has sat on YMCA Board and currently sits on Cymorth’s Board providing greater strategic perspectives.
Outside of work, he lives with his wife and son and their collection of animals. “My son is sports crazy so that takes up most of my time, including coaching his football team – believe me, it can test even the most patient of people. I also love spending time in nature, taking the dog for walks. I find it so relaxing and calming”.
