“I can’t recommend Phil highly enough. His extensive experience from having completed hundreds of transactions, combined with his market judgement from being continually active in the market, and his natural acumen results in insightful and considered advice. Phil’s background is invaluable in helping to identify any potential pitfalls with a transaction and ensures that you are sufficiently protected. Phil has strong judgement and tells you how it is, which is extremely important, as you need to be making strategic decisions using accurate facts. Phil also has strong interpersonal skills, which makes him very effective when dealing with groups of stakeholders with differing objectives and levels of experience in strategic transactions. In short, he is a great person to have on your side.”
