After a seven year stint in the restaurant business and wine trade he moved into event management within the skiing industry. He took over Impression Sailing in 2003, structured a buy-out in early 2004 and has been the driving force behind the continued growth and development of the company since then. Phillip is also the main point of contact for all corporate, racing and regatta charters.
