During his time at Princess Yachts, Phil was responsible for introducing a more process-orientated approach to Quality, as well as working closely with all stakeholders to ensure that the correct technical solution was always found to integrate with all aspects of the yacht. He travelled extensively, not just visiting customers and boat and trade shows, but also working with the purchasing department and visiting suppliers worldwide to ensure that Princess received the best quality products, on time to give the customers the best Yachting experience.

The sea has always been part of his life, having been brought up living on the cliff edge at Wembury near Plymouth in a family of keen sailors, learning to sail at the age of seven. He is married with two adult children and now spends his leisure time off-road driving and supporting off-road activities, as well as enjoying the beautiful scenery and walks that North Cornwall offers.
Phil will work with you to achieve all of your engineering requirements, working closely with Laura, our Supply Chain Director, to ensure all the correct components are specified. He will also set the for standards for our technicians, including the right test protocols which will guarantee quality.
