Joined the Opendoorz gang June 2017

Phil loves skiing during the winter and sailing in the summer but sadly his work limits this a little... He enjoys music generally, playing the piano in particular, and spending time with his family, preferably on holiday.

Phil's motivation has always been to do the best for his clients.

All AR employees are encouraged to live by the company's values of Professionalism, Excellence, Innovation and Teamwork, and Phil tries to bring all of these into his dealings.

As a chartered surveyor Phil specialises in valuation, particularly within the healthcare and education sectors. His clients include the NHS, GPs, independent schools, academies and universities, as well as developers and investors.
