With over 25 years of extensive retail experience spanning high street, premium, high-end and charity sectors, Philip brings a wealth of commercial knowledge alongside a deeply rooted passion for purpose-driven business.

What excites Philip most about charity retail is the impact it has on people’s lives. Not only does it help generate vital funds to support important causes, but it also creates opportunities for incredible volunteers to give their time, develop new skills and become part of something bigger. Seeing that positive impact first-hand is one of the most rewarding aspects of his career.

Philip is also passionate about sustainability and believes that now, more than ever, we all have a responsibility to seek more sustainable ways of living and consuming. ReStore perfectly brings together social impact, environmental responsibility and retail innovation — giving unwanted DIY materials, home improvement products and household items a second life, reducing waste and supporting the circular economy, while raising vital funds to help Habitat for Humanity Great Britain create safe and decent housing.

Philip is delighted to be leading Habitat for Humanity Great Britain’s pioneering ReStore concept, the first of its kind in Great Britain. For him, this is more than retail — it is about creating positive change, building stronger communities and demonstrating how retail can be a force for good.
