Philip Williams

We have the most innovative and creative workforce in the World bar none and as managers we must recognise and act on that.
 
I am an inventive business leader with a passion for getting the best out of people I work with. I build successful teams, businesses and projects through the development of strong, long-lasting, trusted relationships up to blue-chip Board level with both customers and vendors. An innate ability to relate to people at every level within an organisation and a straight-forward and down to earth communication style are keys to my success.
 
I have led multi-disciplined teams and have a strong record in operations (24/7 with 3 million customers), sales (largest account worth £15m p.a.) and the development of long-term profitable relationships with my clients (including every major UK retail bank and card issuer).
 
My work as a mentor and coach to Chief Executives and business owners created some extraordinary results. I ask the right questions and drill down into an issue to draw out solutions from the people I work with.
 
I can deliver projects from a simple relocation to a complex, multi-national product development programme, through actionable plans and the development of broad consensus.
 
My success in getting the best out of people saw many get promoted and go beyond their own expectations.
 
“Phil's quiet professionalism is a standard that we should all aim for.”
"Phil's presence alone is sufficient to inspire confidence and convince people to join his team: me included. He's a shrewd judge of opportunities and people; the catalyst around which opportunities can take shape. Trustworthy in the very truest sense of the word."
“…he listened to the issue, directed discussion and took on board the views of those around him, before posing the killer question”
