Testimonials

Phil's professionalism and coolness under fire earned him a big vote of thanks from all concerned, particularly me. I would always use Phil in the knowledge that his dedication to delivering a great outcome is second to none in our world of live events.

The session was fabulous and everyone was on point. Phil, as always was amazing!

Naomi Sesay

Channel 4

He is always fully prepared and knowledgeable about not only the subject at hand, but also the person he is interviewing. His interviews are hard hitting and poignant and often make the interviewee uncomfortable because he pulls no punches and asks the tough questions and doesn't settle for disingenuous answers nor allows the interview subject to stray off point.
