• His business background is wide ranging from retail, B2B, exporting and management so he’s well versed in how different industries work.  
• He is often described as relaxed, professional and loyal person with an infectious laugh.
• About 6 years ago Phil was in the same situation that you are probably in now. “As a Marketing Manager with an under performing website, I was looking for a great website company who could cover all the bases while allowing me control, and found it very difficult. I did a lot of research on search engine optimisation and ended up doing the work myself.  Then I was referred to a Datum Connect seminar and I knew I had found the solution to my problems straight away.  I was not disappointed and ended up investing in four websites.  Now I’ve invested in the company!”
• Phil uses his marketing experience to work with many businesses and organisations.  “Websites are one of the most powerful marketing tools available in this day and age.  However they are useless if not planned and created well. I enjoy helping people be more successful and my experience brings a new dimensions to the web industry”

As a customer of Datum Connect I was impressed by their customer care, impressive systems and passionate team. It is a pleasure to be part of the team while also enjoying my own independence and control over my destiny“
