Bio
Gérry Hughes
I had the pleasure of managing and working directly with Phil over the course of a two year period at Cosworth on the Formula 1 engine project. Phil is a very mature individual, whose attention to detail, diligence to the task in hand and shear drive to do the job right; first time and to the highest standards is impressive. Given his clear, concise communication with peers & customers alike and his calm methodical approach to all things technical, I would have absolutely no qualms about recommending Phil for a senior engineering role in any established automotive company; OEM or motorsport orientated.

Phil is the most commited, dedicated and passionate track support engineer I've ever had to manage. If I was in a position to hire him again, I would consider this option very seriously.
