Phil discovered Superyachts when he was travelling in New Zealand so took himself to the South of France where he landed his yacht first role in 2014. After spending 6 years in the industry working on vessels ranging from 40m to 100m+ and gaining his OOW 3000 ticket, Phil decided to go shore side in 2021 and took a role with Quay Crew where he can continue to use his knowledge of the yachting industry. Prior to yachting he studied in Southampton where he achieved a 2:1 degree in Marketing & Advertising and then retrained to become a primary school teacher in 2011. He also spent some time working for a top FTSE 100 company managing their CRM systems.
