Greg Alexander
Phil is an extremely hard working individual and is always willing to help out and improve procedure where required. He would be an asset to any company and has a hunger to learn and improve. On a personal level, Phil is a great team player and a great guy to work with.
Sam Vaughey
I have worked with Phil for last 8 months, of which has been an absolute pleasure. He is a great worker and always gives his best at any challenge he faces. He always tries to find different ways of solving issues and thinks outside the box at how to make those issues discovered easier to deal with in the future. If I started my own solutions company I would be in contact with Phil straight away and offer him a job ( if I could afford him ) as he would be a valuable asset to any company and most importantly a pleasure to work with with such a polite manner and his can do attitude.

Technical Architect - Managed Services

Nov 2014 - Sep 2015
My role requires me to assist in designing Managed Service solutions for Softcat's large customer base. I help translate customer requirements into flexible, scalable and innovative solutions. Solutions vary widely from customer to customer, whether it be for traditional Microsoft workloads, scalable web applications or Disaster Recovery - I work closely with customers and other Softcat teams to provide effective solution designs.I am still involved in provisioning some services as in my previous role which I believe is important for any TA to maintain their skills. I am responsible for evaluating new vendor products, running PoC's and reporting back to the business. The most interesting areas to me currently are those surrounding public cloud technologies such as AWS and Azure. I am a firm believer in moving as many services to the cloud as possible and I am looking forward to increased adoption of these services by our customers.
