Phil Greenwood - Principal

Phil trained as a chartered accountant in Ipswich, at first with Ensors and then with Ernst & Young. 

Following qualification he joined a listed property company and during his time there he developed the reporting and project management systems.  As a result of these developments the group had more control over its statutory reporting and its development costs.  This helped the group to select developments that would produce a satisfactory return on capital.

Recently Phil has been the Finance Director of a Marine Mutual insuring third party shipping risks throughout the world.  During his time there the Insurance sector has seen many changes.  Some of these have been brought about by changing patterns in world trade, with the emergence of the new economies of China and India, and others from increasing regulation. 

To meet this Phil has needed to introduce new procedures and governance that not only achieve regulatory compliance but also helps the company to remain competitive.  Key to this was the development of a new business model that incorporates risk profiling so that the company can assess and manage any threat to its stability.

Phil was educated at Clare College, Cambridge and is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants.  Phil enjoys watching sport and is currently learning how to play golf.
